Karlee Rawkins’ poignant imagery of wildlife and flora examines the symbolic and totemic meanings nature holds within the human psyche.
‘Pretty Wild’ features domestic animal and plant imagery in a series of new bold and expressive paintings and drawings. The subjects are not tame, Rawkins has depicted the escaped or unkempt versions such as the brumby and an overgrown fruit tree. The works are created in the artist’s signature style with a method that explores a duality of fine control and freedom to celebrate the beauty of the imperfect, the resilient and unrestrained.
