This work from the Redwind series shows a kudu in the forest, embedded in an intense color spectrum of red and brown tones. The “fossil” painting technique with translucent layers, sanding marks and a textured ground gives the picture a special tactility and depth. The outlines of the animal appear as if unearthed from the soil itself – mysterious, archaic and full of symbolism.
