V Watson original, oil on canvas stretched over timber frame.
505mm square, unframed. Edges painted black.
INSPIRATION
This work celebrates New Zealand native birds. The Black backed gull is the only NZ native bird that is not protected. It has the dubious reputation for being a bit gutsy (mind your chips!), and also being a bit too predatory.
They're big, strong, black & white figuratively and literally. To me they have attitude, and I love them for that.
