Stubbs Dingo Swallows Ponies
2020 watercolour and pencil on Arches paper 65 x 102cm / 93 x 120cm framed In this reimagined hybrid landscape, Glynn references 'Portrait of a Large Dog' (Dingo), commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks and painted from an inflated pelt by the acclaimed British painter, George Stubbs. An inaccurate Australian native fauna silhouette swallows a menagerie of loosely stylized ponies by Stubbs to create a romantic antipodean anomaly.

Extinction Game – Red-Crowned Parakeet
2020
Pencil and watercolour on Stonehenge 250gsm paper
95 x 62cm unframed / 120 x 80cm framed
'Extinction Game - Red-Crowned Parakeet’ reimagines a historical portrait of an extinct Australian bird. This parrot was endemic to Lord Howe and is extinct since 1870.
The black and white chess board may refer to a game, to burnt and unburnt, to race, to colonial floorcloths, to finance (the French escheker), to ‘checkered’ alternations of good and bad.
