Something so straightforward and uncomplicated such as this Displaced Persona painting is positively packed with aesthetic value. Viewers can see the explorations of colours, contours, crevices and shapes that are fluid, interspersed with each other and visually appealing. It is a vibrant, serene admiration as well as the artist’s insight and knowledge of his subject. A turkey is depicted in all its glory, meticulously, its layers of multi-coloured feathers and all.
