So why the interest in zebra as a motif in my paintings? Well, zebra
are the ultimate prey animal, after all who has not seen pictures of
the Great Riff Valley with lions happily sitting down to a black and
white dinner? But zebra are also strong, brave and above all wild, a
well aimed kick from a zebra will injure or kill a lion.
For me a zebra is about contradiction and this is reflected in the
paintings, but I also love their graphic markings that can make for a
really strong visual impact.
