About the artwork

In this captivating painting by Tjokorda, a group of bulls appear to be charging full speed towards a point beyond the canvas. The horizontal composition of the work creates a sense of spirited movement, as it encourages the viewer’s eye to follow the group across the canvas. Tjokorda’s use of vivid red for the background imbues the painting with the intensity of the moment, and conveys the furious momentum of the bulls’ movements. The artist overlays this background with a myriad of vibrant colours such as blue and pink, creating an explosion colour that reflects this magnificent display of energy and life in the animal kingdom.
