Solitary Zebra is a beautiful portrait of a lonely animal in
its wanderings. The artist here presents the viewer with a lovely rendering of
one of the earth's most exotic and striking animals: the zebra. As the subject
of this painting the zebra takes on new esteem in the eyes of the viewer and is
elevated to new levels of majesty. Represented in realistic colors with great
attention to detail, Solitary Zebra also allows the viewer an intimate look at
an animal that they will likely never have any close encounters with, thus
viewing this painting is also something of an educational experience. The zebra
is painted close up, with an emphasis on its beautifully patterned face. The
lines that are so powerfully associated with the zebra have aesthetic value in
the realm of art as well- in this painting, for instance, they create new
planes and dimensions on a flat piece of canvas that are striking and bold. These
patterns also provided an interesting study in the power of the line, at once
creating a subject and distracting from it. For the most part, as you might
suggest, the colors of Solitary Zebra are fairly limited. The zebra is rendered
in black and white, with shades of gray creating shadow on the elegant animal.
The background is a complimenting wash of blue and green, fading into darker
colors toward the bottom of the piece.
The layout of Solitary Zebra is quite appropriate for its
subject matter. The painting is available on a single large canvas, with a
height to dwarf its width. The relatively height of this piece allows for the
viewer to experience the height and expansiveness of the subject and for the
artist to accurately depict certain facial features and details that enhance
this painting in wonderful ways. The canvas is at once large and eye catching,
but not of a size that will make it difficult to find an appropriate wall for.
This painting will leave all who encounter it with a feeling of profound
appreciation for the wonder of nature and a renewed sense of beauty. If you are
