 An Uneasy Accord

 
Oil on linen panel / 24 x 20 

In an Uneasy Accord, awareness of danger is pronounced but remains uncertain. The figure's poised stillness exists alongside tigers whose wild nature is only partially contained by circumstance rather than agreement.

Together with it's companion piece A Perilous Comfort, the works examine the gap between human interpretation and natural reality. Danger is not portrayed as conquered or controlled but as ever-present - and perhaps underestimated.

Please feel free to leave a comment, as your thoughts are very important to the artist and much appreciated.
