A richly layered, large-scale oil on canvas by Australian artist Jordy Kerwick, depicting a fantastical dragon-like creature adorned with intricate patterned scales and an elaborate fan of multi-colored feathers, set against a swirling psychedelic blue wavy background. The composition incorporates a lush bouquet of tropical orange trumpet flowers with detailed green foliage, creating a dense, folkloric narrative reminiscent of Mexican alebrije craft traditions fused with Kerwick's signature self-taught expressionism. The work showcases Kerwick's characteristic bold linework, intense chromatic range, and totemic animal imagery, making it a compelling example of his mature practice. A highly collectible work for collectors of contemporary figurative painting with folk and outsider art influences.
