Vincent Desjardins - Pavo the Peacock
Click here to view Vincent’s Gallery.
A series of artworks based on a concept is always a fascinating thing. Vincent’s series looks at the animal-based constellations in the night sky, from the ones we know from star signs to less well-known ones like the Peacock. Peacocks are wonderful creatures for painters anyway - the amount of colour and pattern they sport can keep most artists busy for hours. In this piece Vincent has refined and distilled all of that light-reflective colour and shimmering pattern into a series of beautiful basic shapes which are echoed on the border design. The idea of presenting the creatures of the constellations in a playing or collectable card format is a great one too, and would make a lovely collection for kids. Absolutely stellar!
