'Breaking Free' - Charles Amos

Dimensions: 60 x 80 cm (23.6 x 31.5 in)

Medium: Oil on canvas

'Breaking Free' is a striking, expressionistic wildlife painting by Charles Amos that bursts with dynamic energy and vivid colour. Measuring 60 cm (Height) x 80 cm (Width), this oil on canvas captures a zebra mid-stride as it leaps forward with powerful momentum. Amos blends figurative subject matter with abstract, heavily textured backgrounds to create a sense of raw liberation and movement.

The subject is depicted in full motion, angled diagonally across the frame with its forelegs raised. Amos renders the zebra's distinctive black-and-white stripes using fluid, expressive brushstrokes, allowing cool blue and violet undertones to wash through the form. Below, the ground plane dissolves into a rich, heavily impastoed grid of fiery reds, deep blues, and textured white drips, creating a vivid contrast against the cool turquoise and cerulean expanse of the backdrop.

Amos's expressive knife work and bold color palette elevate this piece beyond a traditional wildlife portrait into an energetic, contemporary statement. 'Breaking Free' is a captivating work that brings modern artistic flair to a classic African icon, making it a compelling addition for collectors of contemporary fine art.
