Glass Dragon and Chicken
oil in canvas 30” x 40”
1985
A mid-career work that blends mythic imagery with fragile materiality and Pop Culture criticism.
Reflects 1980s experimentation, where symbolic forms meet modernist technique. The dragon motif contrasts strength with fragility amplified by the chicken.
The “glass” dragon embodies paradox — resilience and vulnerability, myth and reality, permanence and fragility.
The “glass” chicken represents a range of cultural references from fertility, prosperity, or even spiritual significance - or just food
What about the “Glass Rooster”? or the rooster as a cultural symbol in “Charlie”? (this page)
