Chicken 3

Rendered with the economy of a brush that trusts silence, the trio of chickens emerges from a wide field of white, their charcoal bodies softened into atmospheric washes that feel both intimate and transient. Small eruptions of red at the combs act like punctuations of vitality—tiny flames of character—while scattered ink flecks and faint ground shadows suggest a humble, lived-in terrain without ever over-describing it. The composition balances communal nearness with individual pause, turning an ordinary barnyard moment into a meditation on presence: how life is defined as much by what is left unpainted as by what is named.
