Acrylic on board
30”x30”

Avian Rhapsody is a striking acrylic on board, where Tanner departs from abstract fluidity to embrace a stylized representation of nature. Silhouetted birds, rendered in bold black with touches of metallic gold and red, perch and soar among geometric branches. The backdrop—a rich, matte red—imbues the scene with a warm, dramatic energy, reminiscent of a sunset or the glow of a theater curtain. This piece is a celebration of life's simple dramas, the everyday performances of the natural world that, while commonplace, are no less spectacular. The interplay of color and shape creates a visual sonnet to the spirited avian dance.
