The Search

"The Search" - featuring cream of potato soup. 

In this strikingly surreal oil painting, a barn owl glides gracefully across a haunting, monochromatic sky, clutching a can of Campbell’s Cream of Potato soup in its talons. Titled “The Search”, this piece explores the tension between instinct and consumerism — a symbol of modern survival wrapped in nostalgic familiarity. The owl, often a harbinger of wisdom and mystery, becomes a curious carrier of comfort food, soaring through an abstract void in pursuit of meaning or nourishment.

Painted with bold realism against a textured, grayscale backdrop, The Search is both whimsical and contemplative — inviting viewers to reflect on what they’re really searching for in a world full of distractions.

I am currently producing 32 oil on canvas campbell's soup paintings, all with individual styles and character. Be quick to purchase one and have one displayed on your wall as they are a must have in any art collection. A great talking point!!
