Duck Study II
Size:20 x 20 in.
Dave White's original painting on paper titled "Duck Study II", measuring 13" x 13", is a vivid and striking portrayal of a mallard duck, brought to life through White’s bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colour palette. The profile of the duck, with its brilliant green head and bright yellow beak, stands out sharply against a dark, abstract background, creating a sense of depth and contrast. White’s use of oil paint over watercolour enhances the richness of the colours and adds texture to the piece, making the feathers appear almost tangible.
The round composition of the painting emphasizes the duck's form, drawing the viewer’s eye to the intricate details of the bird’s head and neck. White’s signature energetic style—characterized by sweeping strokes, loose splashes of paint, and bold mark-making—imbues the painting with a dynamic, lifelike quality, while still allowing for a modern, abstract interpretation.
"Duck Study II" showcases White’s ability to blend realism with abstraction, offering a fresh perspective on the natural world. His contemporary approach to animal portraiture, combined with his attention to detail and texture, makes this painting both visually captivating and emotionally resonant, further cementing his reputation as one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists.
