Bull and Bird show_depth Aphrodite was created when Cronus

Aphrodite was created when Cronus severed Uranus’ genitals and threw them into the sea so she had an ugly beginning but her birth has been depicted in many beautiful ways

This Aphrodite has such a strong form and she is very female but it doesn’t feel like she's made of flesh

Painted with oil and finished with soft pencil on red cloth book covers & UV protective museum glass

Bull and Bird show_depth Aphrodite was created when CronusIn our Cecil Court gallery A slightly exotic bird sits on the back of a bull. Im constantly experimenting with ways of stylising and creating my creatures while still retaining character. This bull has a head resembling a mask. Bull and bird get along with each other very nicely and the delicacy and scale of the bird contrasts with and amplifies the solid strength of the bull.
