Le Gaulois
Abstract / Rooster / Vernissage 2024

Le Gaulois

LE GAULOIS - 18” X 24” - Acrylic and mixed media on wood In French tradition, the rooster is a strong symbol, chosen to represent national identity for centuries. I named this piece LE GAULOIS to evoke the ancient origins of France. The Gauls were the first inhabitants of the French territory, known for their courage and independence. This proud rooster honours that ancestral strength and the unbreakable spirit of the Gauls. Hidden within the layers of paint, you'll find a piece of fabric in memory of my mother-in-law, Diane Bunker.

THE GENERAL

THE GENERAL - 36”x48” Acrylic and mixed techniques on canvas. Charles de Gaulle was without a doubt one of France’s most influential presidents. He was nicknamed The General because of his strong political stance. The rooster became the emblem of this country in the 18th century, during the French Revolution. The rooster and General de Gaulle are both known for their courage and braveness.
