'Carmine' - Darren McKay

Dimensions: 110 x 110 cm (43.3 x 43.3 inch)

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Revealing a stunning explosion of colour and movement, 'Carmine' is a magnificent original acrylic painting by the contemporary artist Darren McKay. This large-scale piece captures the vibrant intensity of the Carmine Bee-eater through an expressive, kinetic lens.

The generous square-format canvas measures 110 cm (Height) x 110 cm (Width). The composition contrasts dynamic motion with serene stillness. Dominating the foreground is a single Bee-eater in full flight, rendered with brilliant, saturated colours—the bird’s turquoise, red, and brown plumage is dramatically illuminated. McKay employs his signature splatter technique, creating a radial burst of paint streaks and droplets that convey the explosive energy of the take-off against the subtle, muted cream background.

In the upper right, two additional Carmine Bee-eaters are perched calmly on bare branches, their forms rendered with greater realism. This juxtaposition highlights the bird's speed and the contrast between the fleeting moment of flight and the quiet moments of rest. This exceptional Darren McKay acrylic painting is a premier example of contemporary wildlife art and kinetic expressionism, perfect for collectors of dynamic art who appreciate bold colour and the beautiful drama of African birds.
