Artwork Description

REK continues in his finely detialed photo realistic approach with "Brotherly Love" featuring Maui and Oakey the catalina macaws.

Set against a REK's signature wallpaper like repetitious botanical backdrops, the subjects intermingle with the monochromatic foliage in this composition. Elements of this piece such the beak, eye are developed with many layers of paint to create ultra-lifelike depth while the softness and interplay of light and shadow in the brother's gloriously festive feathers is truer to life than ever before.

Provenance

- This artwork was featured in the Royal Qld Art Societies 2020 All creatures and wild things biennial exhibition where REK was the guest judge
