Paradisaeidae Bird Street Art

While searching for Birds of Paradise artwork I came across a secondary source of contemporary street art created in 2011. The Tropical bird composition was created in London on wooden fence to conceal building work.

The simplistic use of colour and uncomplicated silhouettes is a stark contrast of the elaborate birds in real life conceiving a paradox conception of the birds.

For future work I could take influence from the refined colour pallet if I was unable to achieve the iridescence portrayed in the feathers in fabrics and surface decoration.
