Pink Zebra (2023) Original Mixed-media Painting by Heather Irvine

This mixed‑media zebra African Wildlife artwork was painted and collaged on canvas board using acrylic, ink and hand‑printed gel plate papers. It explores the beautiful contrast between the zebra’s black‑and‑white stripes and a bold, expressive abstract background with the vibrant colour drawn from the pinkish tones drawn on the zebra’s belly, creating a striking interplay between realism and abstraction. The textured layers and vivid palette highlight the animal’s quiet strength against an energetic, contemporary backdrop.

Please note - the canvas board has a very small deviation in shape in the top right - something that should easily be hid by framing. See full photo.
