"Hummingbirds" presents two vibrant hummingbirds suspended mid-air, hovering delicately over a Campbell’s Alphabet Soup can, one bird feeding directly from it, the other circling in quiet observation. The moment feels intimate and surreal, blending nature’s fragility with a familiar symbol of mass culture.
The hummingbirds, traditionally symbols of vitality, speed and resilience, are recontextualised here, drawn not to flowers, but to manufactured sustenance. The Alphabet Soup can becomes a quiet metaphor for language, learning and consumption: what we are fed, what we absorb, and how meaning is formed in a modern world saturated with symbols.
A repeating forest of slender, blue-toned trees creates rhythm and structure, contrasting with explosive splashes of colour radiating from the birds’ wings. Beneath it all, a bold band of yellow anchors the composition, injecting warmth, optimism and tension against the cool verticals above.
This work sits at the intersection of pop art and contemporary figurative painting, playful yet reflective, accessible yet layered. Hummingbirds invites the viewer to question the relationship between nature, nourishment and modern life, making it a compelling statement piece with both visual impact and conceptual depth. A beautiful addition to add to the art collection. 202cm Length x 101cm Height
