Description
Gorilla Relaxing captures a powerful yet serene moment as a majestic gorilla sits in quiet repose, its calm gaze inviting empathy and reflection. Painted with expressive strokes of vibrant yellow, pink, teal, and orange, the gorilla’s form is alive with emotion and warmth. The neutral beige background highlights the subject’s stillness and strength, allowing every color and contour to shine. Gillie and Marc beautifully blur the line between wild instinct and emotional intelligence, presenting this great ape as a soulful, sentient being deserving of compassion and rest.
Artwork Features
In this highly expressive and passionate style Gillie and Marc have let their emotions run free in this explosive collection of freehand painting. Inspired by the styles of Brett Whiteley, Francis Bacon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gillie and Marc have combined enamel paint with oil pastel to breathe life into the worlds most endangered species. Over the past five years, Gillie and Marc spent hours sketching and studying wildlife, travelling the globe to meet these animals up close. These sketches have now been brought to life in vibrant colour with love and passion. Each painting is created as a team with both the artists bringing their own emotion into every painting.
