'King' - Charles Amos

Dimensions: 118 x 118 cm (46.5 x 46.5 inch)                              

Medium: Oil on canvas

Admire the majestic national flower of South Africa in this dramatic original oil painting, titled 'King' by the contemporary South African artist Charles Amos. This large-scale piece is an intense, vivid portrait of the King Protea.

The monumental, square-format canvas measures 118 cm (Height) x 118 cm (Width). The composition is utterly dominant, with the massive flower filling the frame, asserting its regal presence against a deep, contrasting background of black and midnight blue. The artist uses an incredibly saturated colour palette, highlighting the bold, fiery pinks and reds of the bracts, which radiate outwards like a crown.

Amos uses detailed, hyper-realistic brushwork to capture the delicate, velvety texture of the petals and the subtle lavender and lime-green tones in the inner cone. The dark, minimalist background intensifies the flower's luminescence, giving the work a powerful, almost spotlighted effect. This outstanding Charles Amos oil painting is a premier example of South African botanical art and contemporary realism, perfect for collectors of floral paintings and admirers of the Cape Floral Kingdom's most iconic specimen.
