Rock Squirrel

A red squirrel plays a full-volume guitar solo, mid-stride, tail flying like a flag. Manon Dumas built the figure from small patches of colour outlined in black, almost like stained glass, and set it against bold diagonal bands of silver, copper and cream. The metallic paints change with the light, so the background shifts from cool to warm as you walk past. The work began as a digital study of hers and was then painted entirely by hand in acrylic on canvas over rigid board. Small, playful and full of energy: ideal for a music lover's shelf, a studio or a child's room. Original, unframed, signed on the front. No hanging hooks: ready to frame.
