c Donkey Coming

Three figures in vibrant costume stand beside a white donkey harnessed to a cart, set against a dramatic sky of purple and orange hues. The composition balances figural detail with atmospheric landscape, employing bold acrylics in loose, expressive strokes. Warm tones dominate the upper register whilst cooler purples ground the scene. Gericke’s characteristic style—developed through study with South African masters—brings a distinctly contemporary sensibility to this rural subject.
