“Always together” by BIRDMAN is a large acrylic-on-tapestry work alive with pattern, humour, and community. Against a deep ground, a gathered flock of stylised birds and bird-creatures moves across the surface in shifting scale and pose. Some stand tall on thin legs. Others bend, perch, or curl. A few merge with trees, architecture, or ornamental forms, blurring where plumage ends and environment begins.
Each figure is composed of richly patterned shapes that read like fragments of textiles, heraldic fabric, foliage, and decorative motifs. The result is a patchwork of identities. No two birds are alike, yet they belong to a shared visual world. Small figures cluster near larger ones, echoing the title and suggesting kinship, migration, or celebration.
BIRDMAN’s practice embraces repetition, improvisation, and storytelling through surface. Here, painted patterning mimics appliqué and stitched assembly, giving the tapestry a layered, hand-built presence. The dark field sets off the warm creams, greens, reds, and golds within the birds, creating rhythm and movement across the composition.
“Always together” is playful at first glance, then quietly intricate on close view. It brings color, narrative, and a sense of collective spirit to any space. A standout work for collectors drawn to visionary figuration and the joyful imagination at the heart of Art Brut.
