 Bugged Boss  - Original Oil on Canvas by Wildlife Artist James Corwin
JAMES CORWIN - "Bugged Boss" - Original oil on canvas by wildlife Artist James Corwin - Measures 30x40". Artist reflects, "In Africa oxpeckers and Cape buffalo share a symbiotic relationship. The oxpeckers eat the ticks and parasites off the buffalo and the buffalo benefits. These oxpeckers are flying around the face trying to get at the nose for some fresh pickings, which probably irritates the buffalo a bit!" James Corwin designs distinct oil paintings through a unique balance of gestural paint techniques and precise detail. Primarily focused on wildlife, Corwin aims to engage the viewer through his dynamic compositions that stir emotion. With an appreciation for both fine detail and contemporary art, Corwin exquisitely marries the two in each painting with detailed subjects and loosely constructed backgrounds often exposing the underpainting and raw canvas. Corwin gathers inspiration and references from his frequent travels to exotic destinations around the world. A trip to South Africa opened his eyes to threats of poaching on wildlife. Frequent trips back to Africa have allowed the artist to work directly with conservation efforts. Corwin now owns a game breeding farm and large safari company, Morena Safaris, in South Africa on 5,000 acres and private concessions covering 500,000 acres. Corwin has established himself as a widely collected artist at a very young age. His artwork is collected nationally and internationally as he participates in prestigious exhibitions and auctions throughout the year. By providing utmost quality and innovation in his painting, Corwin creates a sustaining legacy of integrity and loyalty in his art and for conservation.
