Andrew Cranston's "Study for 'Starry Night with Donkey'" repurposes a hardback book cover as its support, creating an economical yet conceptually rich foundation for his oil and varnish composition. The work engages in a playful dialogue with van Gogh's iconic imagery, introducing the unexpected presence of a donkey into the starry night landscape. By painting on a pre existing commercial object, Cranston layers meaning between high art tradition and found material culture, questioning the boundaries between sketch and finished work.
