Painting by contemporary British artist Jacqueline Hammond

‘Stuffed’ – A quirky series of bird portraits. Characterful representations of different species of birds.

Title: Techno Chicken

Medium:  Acrylics on canvas 

Dimensions: 25cm x 25cm 

Artist: Jacqueline Hammond

This artwork is an original painting on canvas and forms part of an ongoing series of portrait style studies of birds.

‘Birds rarely stay still, making them tricky to observe long enough to paint.’ 

‘Stuffed’ depicts birds that have been captured and immortalised in the glass cabinets on exhibition in national museums.

This particular creature was seen by the artist on Youtube.

The series continues an appreciation of birds both as creatures and as a motif for the artist. Birds feature in other works such as the popular Brighton Tidal Sunsets series which depicts the murmuration of starlings around Brighton Pier.
