About the artwork
A powerful bull dominates this dynamic painting, its semi-abstract form a visceral expression of texture, colour, and movement. The bull's head and shoulders fill the canvas, horns jutting dramatically, conveying an undeniable sense of strength and presence. Its gaze, piercing and direct, stares into the viewer's soul. Bold brushstrokes and a rich, textured surface, the product of impasto, scratching, dripping, and blending, capture the animal's raw physicality.
