Berlin, Germany. World War II.
The zookeeper's wife is Australian. Everybody, every person, every animal finds themselves prisoners a burning city in the middle the war. There is no food, not for the civilians nor for the prisoners of war, not even for the zoo residents. There is death. BERLIN BURNING is the representation of the depth of the horror there. The animals are prisoners in their cages. The smaller snake finds an egg - food - and, weak as she is, goes ahead gobbling it up. But the bigger snake will have nothing of this, he wants the egg, he eats the female snake. A heartbreak.

Silk and roses define the woman in the first panel. She is sophisticated, elegant, and smells of powder and perfume. Life is good, the cherubs sing the glory of youth and health. But the woman is also half bones and gloom because death is what happens eventually. Her angel wings will take her where she has to be. This painting works by itself, and it works coupled with the second panel presented in the pictures above (although the second panel works by itself independently also). FOR BETTER FOR WORSE is an allegory - sweet and sour - of life as it goes, for better and for worse.

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE

Oil

A$1,860

This artwork functions on its own or as part of a diptych where the first panel is entitled FOR BETTER FOR WORSE represents beauty and youth flying high on the wings of angels and transmuting into death and bones. The second panel, RIDING INTO THE SUNSET, represents the way into the sunset where the cowboy / Don Quixote rides his skinny horse into the sunset, i.e. the West, the Unknown, Eternity. Don Quixote is not the typical cowboy though. He is not the saviour per se, nor the leader. But he is fun, adventurous and willing to try and discover what the future holds. He is the anchor the lady lady needs despite the fact that he is also a bit crazy, a bit naive, a bit deluded.

This is a portrait of a man and a hero. This man is exhausted but still radiates energy. He typifies the permanence and timelessness of what it its to be human as he stands up against the devastating breath of adversity, for the good of all. This painting is an organic and visceral rendering of the all-encompassing fury of the fires that every year engulf part of the country, and of the heart-wrenching fight against the elements. It has an iconic dimension, inspired by the history of our big country and the scars left on the individual psyche and the world as it is now, here. The fire-fighter here is an image of resilience and generosity and courage we can all be proud off and say thank you to.

This charcoal drawing captures a poised Weimaraner, its head lifted gracefully as it gazes upward with a tranquil, yet intent expression. The rich black charcoal creates a velvety texture that flows across the dog's muscular form, showcasing both elegance and strength. A striking contrast emerges as the Weimaraner's eye—rendered in vivid, piercing blue—stands out against the monochromatic palette, drawing the viewer’s attention and infusing the artwork with life. The soft gradients of the charcoal echo the fluidity of Chinese ink painting, lending the piece a delicate balance between realism and artistic interpretation. The composition emphasizes the dog's elongated neck and noble posture, celebrating its natural beauty and soulful demeanor.

A regal serval sits poised against a deep black backdrop, its amber-gold eyes radiating intensity and alertness. The intricate spots and stripes on its coat are rendered with precision, highlighting the unique patterning of this wild feline. Its long, tapered ears, lined with faint, delicate hairs, point upright, giving it a sharp and focused expression. The soft yet detailed fur captures the play of light, adding depth and dimension to the cat’s form. The overall mood of the piece is one of grace and vigilance, celebrating the serval’s natural elegance and wild spirit.
