Painting on canvas of Ned Kelly by Max Horst
The painting presents a whimsical and imaginative scene that merges historical figures with native Australian wildlife. Ned Kelly, the iconic bushranger, stands at the center. His stylized form includes the unmistakable helmet and armor associated with his legend. Beside him, a dog—equally armored.Flanking the central figures are two angry koalas, their expressions exaggerated. The background hints at an Australian landscape—a dramatic sky transitioning from warm orange to deep red. The bold color palette amplifies the painting’s energy and surreal quality. Horst’s use of abstraction and stylization invites viewers to reimagine familiar figures. Painting on canvas of Ned Kelly by Max Horst
