Description

Arrogant, self-absorbed, yet magnificent; a white rooster is here portrayed from all of his finest angles (I felt this was the best way to do justice to this beautiful bird, and were this rooster a person, I am sure he would regard three portrayals as the minimum of which he deserves). This rooster actually kind of hates me, whenever I catch him trying to beat up the older rooster I shoo him away, and I just don’t think that he has ever made the connection between being a jerk and getting shooed away, so to him I’m just a mean giant. If only he knew that he has been immortalized in paint on canvas, now that would be something to crow about (Yes, I know, that was a terrible pun, but I couldn’t resist it, besides, you would have thought it had I not said it). Placing the focal point in the center of a canvas is often times advised against . . . but, rules are meant to be broken; I wanted an almost altarpiece like feel for the multisided portrait of this egotistical bird. The real allure of creating this rule breaking composition was the overlapping triangles (the central bird forms an inverted triangle, and the negative space formed by the birds in the background creates a second, right side up triangle), and the tension, the push and pull of symmetries and asymmetries.
