Charles Fernando presenting his painting outside of the Rhodes National Gallery. The painting is an abstract drawing of a chicken, the head and tail the only discernible features, as the feathers create a chaotic swirling plume between and around the two. The painting largely features blacks, browns, reds and oranges and is painted on a white canvas. [FG 21/08/2025]
