Rabbit Rabbit Pastels

This vibrant work in oil pastels presents two stylised rabbits side by side, rendered with bold linework and expressive colour. Set against a softly worked, textured background punctuated by circular graphite-like marks, the figures feel both playful and symbolic, hovering between whimsy and quiet intensity. The contrasting palettes—warm ochres and oranges alongside cooler greens and blues—create a visual dialogue between the pair, suggesting individuality within companionship.
The confident outlines and layered pastel strokes give the surface an energetic, tactile quality, while the direct gaze of each rabbit establishes a subtle emotional presence. Housed in an up-cycled frame, the piece thoughtfully aligns its materials with its ethos, embracing sustainability and reinvention as part of its narrative. Measuring 63 × 73 cm, this artwork sits comfortably within contemporary folk and expressionist traditions, offering a distinctive, character-driven statement suitable for modern gallery settings.
