Description
Humphrey Ocean may be best known for his post-pop-art portraits of prestigious people — but when he’s not capturing the likeness of figures like Paul McCartney and Philip Larkin, the London-based artist has a bit of an obsession with painting birds.
A Book of Birds
is a charming collection of feathered friends pulled from Ocean’s notebooks, paintings and sketches, all rendered in his signature style. Flip from images of gulls, thrushes and tits that the artist observed while birdwatching near his home and studio in South London, as well as more exotic species that he came across while visiting his sister in Nairobi, like the Eurasian bee-eater, the Bulbul and the Flycatcher. The perfect addition to any coffee table vignette, this little book would also make a great gift for an aspiring artist or ornithologist.
