Cajun Chicken Breast

A stylised white chicken rendered in dynamic motion dominates this small acrylic work, its elongated form suggesting movement against a richly layered background of warm oranges, yellows and greens. The composition balances figuration with abstraction, the bird’s simplified form contrasting with the textured, multi-hued ground beneath. Groenewald’s characteristic wit emerges through the juxtaposition of subject and title, whilst his confident handling of acrylic on board demonstrates the painterly freedom he sought beyond his design practice.
