About the artwork

A panda sits on the ground eating a carrot, whilst balancing a vase of brilliant multi-coloured flowers on its head, in this work by American artist Gaulthier. The vibrant colours and patterns of the flowers stand out against the monochrome and formal damask patterned background, bringing vibrancy and life to the work. The whimsicality of the scene captured contrasts the formality of the portrait, imbuing the work with humor that is characteristic of the artist’s charming oeuvre. Gaulthier’s whimsical style is described as “anthropomorphic realism”, and is influenced by vintage and modern graphic design, as well as her experiences living in urban and rural settings.



About the artist

Self-taught artist Gaulthier's whimsical style, described as "anthropomorphic realism", is a culmination of her personal experiences residing in urban and rural settings. Primarily motivated by a deep love for aesthetics, her works are influenced by vintage and modern graphic design. The wild creatures in her animal portraits are depicted in a humane and regal manner and are foregrounded on damask style backgrounds. She humorously depicts her animal subjects as ‘collectors’, who collect objects such as flowers, china, books, and baked goods.
