Be Brave
SOLD
Discover the compelling vision of 'Be Brave', an original mixed media artwork by the acclaimed Stephen Ford, encased in a sophisticated wooden grey frame with silver highlights, measuring 31 x 39 inches. This piece captures the essence of courage through its vivid portrayal of a gorilla, merging raw animalistic strength with a vibrant splash of human emotion.
Ford's technique brings the gorilla to life against a minimalistic background, focusing the viewer's attention on the intricate details and geometric patterns that texture its fur. The palette employs dusky twilight blues blended seamlessly with shades of moonlit silver and storm cloud grey, accented unexpectedly with bursts of fiery reds, sunset oranges, and deep purples. These colours dance across the canvas like flickering flames against a night sky—commanding yet tranquil.
The gorilla's gaze is particularly striking; eyes rendered in bold crimson demand engagement, challenging observers to meet them head-on. It’s this aspect that embodies the title 'Be Brave', urging us to confront our fears with as much dignity and resilience as this majestic creature.
Stephen Ford’s work explores our complex relationships with animals and nature while reflecting on human identity and emotions. 'Be Brave' serves not only as an exquisite addition to any art collection but also acts as a poignant reminder of our shared instinct for courage in facing adversities.
Ideal for those who appreciate art that resonates on multiple levels—visually stunning yet teeming with deeper significance—'Be Brave' invites you into contemplation on bravery in both wildness and humanity.
