Up close and personal with the King of the Jungle, the artist explores cool pigments and tones to create a chic, urban take on the jungle cat. Away from the sandy tones and familiar fawn, this lion still encompasses hints of gold and beige of his natural fur. A more playful, bold interpretation of nature- the artist uses an urban palette to bring to life the aloof, majestic gaze of the lion. Short, fast brushstrokes take up the canvas and create the movement of its luxurious mane in colors that strategically pop and then blend into the dark backdrop, allowing the subject to take center stage of the portrait.
