Christopher Wood's 'Zebra and Parachute' presents a surreal scene with a restrained colour palette. The juxtaposition of the zebra and parachute creates an unsettling and dreamlike quality.
Christopher 'Kit' Wood (1901-1930) was a British painter known for his association with the avant-garde art scene between the wars. His style blended influences from various sources, including folk art, Cubism, and the work of the School of Paris. Wood's life was tragically cut short, but his artistic output remains a significant contribution to British modernism. 'Zebra and Parachute' exemplifies Wood's distinctive approach. The painting depicts a zebra standing in what appears to be a stark, almost industrial setting, with a parachute and figure descending in the background. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by whites, greys, and browns, which lends the scene a somewhat dreamlike quality. The juxtaposition of the exotic zebra with the modern parachute creates a surreal and unsettling effect. The architectural elements are simplified, almost abstracted, contributing to the overall sense of unease and mystery. The painting's composition is carefully balanced, with the zebra acting as a central anchor, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
