Wrath

My postmodern appropriation of a traditional Japanese print. Australianized by the addition of the mambo style kimono and Margaret Preston style border and signature, with a modern twist of heart tattoo and my approximation of Kanji which I hope represents the word “Wrath”. “Wrath is an ugly emotion which can destroy the beautiful.

ink and watercolour painting in Japanese style.
I added this small painting to the small works exhibition showing in Melbourne at the Brunswick Street Gallery.

Wrath belongs to the following groups:

1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture, Japanfluence, Mixed Media and Watercolour Paintings

Hi Marcus, just three small works in the small works exhibition, found out about it here on Red bubble! I was going to put a watercolour version of kimono girls in but i couldn’t part with it.
