Artwork Description

Gouache on canvas

Signed on the front.

I am highly influenced by Japanese folk tales and yokai culture. These are my favourite animal shapeshifters, the Japanese Raccoon Dog or Tanuki as it translates. This is part of a series of pieces of tanuki just have a great time dancing as their true selves.

Two bird headed creatures with trees growing instead of feathers or hair, crawl over the top of each other. One seems to be turning into a plant. One is tickling, or trying to tickle a creature on the left, while two almost human beings stand on it's back.A group of odd characters, animals and shapeshifters, perhaps some in masks altogether interacting.Creatures clamber together. Maybe to run away, to confront to help each other.A humanoid character (named Saru Kuma from the Kabuki Style of makeup he is generally alluded to having, meaning "brave man of yore") meets a selection of yokai, some real, some not, all disguised. 
As the piece is large the framer chose a perspex front instead of glass so it wasn't too heavy.
