Delbridge Honanie Painting C3736RThis wonderful acrylic painting by Delbridge Honanie is an untitled piece. Flirting with abstract and surrealist styles it is full of images of man, nature and the spirit world. The swirling shapes and colors could be interpreted as flowers and bees or pollen, suggesting mother nature and/or reproduction. The Katsina face and eagle feathers are more representational. All of these are drastically out of proportion with the cliff face they are attached to and positively dwarf the tiny human figure along the bottom. Is this a suggestion of man's relatively unimportant role in the large scheme of things? We're sure there are as many interpretations as there are viewers. Feel free to contact the gallery and tell us what you think. This piece is a sure fire conversation starter and would be a standout in any collection.
