Brothers settle things this way. Brothers catches two lesser kudu with their horns locked on a sunlit green lawn at the Saint Louis Zoo, front legs braced and heads low, while a young giraffe stands a few steps behind them with a mouthful of leaves and a look of mild, sideways interest, the way a family member watches a familiar argument. Green and amber run through the whole frame: the grass, the dark trees, the giraffe's patched coat and the rust-red rocks behind.
The eye goes first to the point where the horns cross, the one tight spot in the picture. It follows each kudu's striped back out to the edges, then climbs the giraffe's long neck to its head, turned away from the fight, and the look across the lawn is the punchline. The rocks and trees stay dark and quiet behind, so the white stripes on the kudu and the giraffe's pale, patterned coat stand out.
It belongs to the tradition of Elliott Erwitt, who found the deadpan witness in the corner of a crowded frame, and to Henri Cartier-Bresson's habit of waiting for the instant when every part of a scene arrives at once.
Design & Styling
Brothers suits family rooms, dens, kids' rooms and playrooms, and any space where a bit of humor is welcome. The greens and ambers sit well beside natural wood, rattan, tan leather, cream linen and brass. It also fits pediatric offices and children's wings, family restaurants, pet-friendly lodges and school and library common areas. The square format works over a console, a bench, a bed or a mantel.
Curated Pairings
Three companions, each connected in a different way:
For another giraffe: Pair with Kali - Grace in Profile, a quiet giraffe portrait held in profile. A good contrast: calm and still here, a bystander in the middle of a fight there.
For a dispute with a witness: Pair with The Argument, a grackle mid-exchange with two cowbirds on a driftwood perch. The same idea in a smaller cast: two animals at odds and a third paying attention.
For a big animal with a sense of humor: Pair with Dust and Sky, an elephant mid-ritual with its trunk curled high as dust settles across its back. Both catch a large animal in a moment that is a little funny and a little grand.
Fine Art Presentation
Available as a signed and numbered limited edition of fifteen (15) prints in ChromaLuxe® Metal (Gloss, Semi-Gloss or Matte), TruLife acrylic, archival paper (framed or unframed), canvas and wood. ChromaLuxe® Metal (Gloss) is the recommendation: it carries the saturated greens and ambers and the bright white stripes with the most punch. Framed archival paper suits a warmer, quieter room.
Note: Custom and oversized photographic prints are available. Please contact the studio directly to discuss custom framing, matting, or specialized museum glass options.
