Item Description
Sometimes the best things come in small packages. Datsun's "Sparrow" painting is one of those tiny treasures that can be hidden in unexpected places to surprise and delight those who discover it.
A humble, yet powerful addition to any home or office. It is the smallest creatures that can often teach the biggest lessons.
Acrylic on canvas, 3" x 3" x 1" gallery wrapped edges, so ready to hang!
About the painting: "I started making my Birds as an object I could stick up in the streets and alleys in busy cities around the world. I wanted to give people little unexpected surprises, something that would get their attention and make them smile.
The bird is such a strong symbol, it has a transcendent quality that lifts people from their lower self to their higher self, from material world to the spiritual world. People often ask whether the pieces are sculptures or paintings. I don’t feel the need to say that they are one or the other. Much like actual birds, existing in both spheres of land and air, they exist somewhere in between, or both.”
‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tunes without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me.
Emily Dickinson
