Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 16 × 16 inches (unframed)
A portrait of a blue crab on the beach, sitting between abstraction and realism. The surroundings dissolve into loose, expressive brushstrokes of coral, violet and blue, leaving form and detail behind in favour of pure colour and movement. He looks straight out at the viewer, direct and unflinching, while his shell catches and fragments the bold palette of his surroundings, almost as if he is made of the same loose colour as the world around him. In this piece, the familiar crab is reimagined through colour and one that invites the viewer to look again at a subject so often overlooked.
