Peter Vos (1975) isolates birds and other animals against a neutral background. He depicts them in subtle hues of layered paint, enhancing the animals’ posture and spirit by applying a certain geometric stylization. This stork chick fits exactly within the frame of the canvas, the contours of its feathers are soft, those around its eyes and mouth precise and sharp. With its head bowed it is endearingly pure and vulnerable. Almost like a human portrait, you seem to be able to read his character.
