Geometric stylization is a common feature in the work of Peter Vos.
In this piece, the bodies of two owls face eachother creating a residual triangular form between them. The ordered lines defining their form simultaneously determin their shape and emphasize the flat surface activity. Despite their evident stylization, Peter Vos' animals maintain an individual character that facilitates identification with human traits, in this case the comforting warmth of motherly affection.
