Surrealist Painting of Seven Animal Heads - Attributed provenance: New Vision Centre Gallery, London

Description
An unusual vertical composition depicting seven yellow, long-necked animal heads emerging from a sculptural blue vessel. Set against a vivid red and pink ground, the branching forms combine animal and botanical characteristics, creating an imaginary arrangement between a still life and a fantastic creature.

Black outlines emphasise the eyes and open mouths, while angular black lines frame the composition along its left and lower edges. Textured brushwork and strong contrasts of yellow, blue and red give the painting a distinctive graphic presence.
