'Peacock', 2021, by Aimee Rytenskild, depicts a female figure standing in the centre of the composition, looking out at the viewer. Her dress is adorned with Peacock feathers, which draw the eye with their bright colouring of green and blue tones. In one hand she holds a bouquet of peacock feathers, which drape over her shoulder. On her other shoulder sits a parrot. Her hair is stringy and wild, reminiscent of tree roots. This serves as a physical connection between her and nature, and alludes to the connection between 'femininity' and 'mother nature'.
As a predominantly abstract painter, I have recently been inspired to create more figurative and representational works, as a way to more directly communicate subject matter. This painting is part of a larger series of work that aims to explore the intrinsic relationship between societies associations of femininity and the environment, epitomised by the concept of 'mother nature'.
'Peacock' by Aimee Rytenskild, will serve as a whimsical and fun addition to any space, adding a point of both visual and conversational interest to your life.
