There is something wonderfully human about our fascination with birds.

They are beautiful, strange, elegant, unruly. They inhabit our gardens and our skies, our folklore and our imaginations. Some are admired for their plumage, others for their character. Some are familiar companions; others seem to have arrived from another world entirely.

THE MENAGERIE is Exquisite Hooligan's collection of original bird paintings — a gathering of curious characters, magnificent creatures and feathered misfits, each given a personality of their own.

Painted from a lifetime of experiences in the wild places of the planet, each work is shaped by a deep fascination with the creatures, landscapes and fleeting encounters that make the natural world so extraordinary. From remote wilderness to intimate moments of observation, these paintings capture not simply what was seen, but the character, spirit and sense of wonder found in the wild.

These are not simply paintings of birds.

They are portraits formed - In acrylic, spray paint, ink, oil paint, graffiti cleaner and detritus on canvas.
