Portrait of a crested pigeon. The crested pigeon is a wild species of pigeon from Australia noted for its beautiful head crest. This species also has beautiful multi-coloured plumage with washes of green and blue and pink. This work is part of Brendan Burden's Fancy Pigeons series. This series explores the unexpected and often under-appreciated beauty of the lowly pigeon. Through the use of formal portrait techniques, the pigeon is presented with an esteem normally reserved for less humble subjects. This unconventional contrast provides a new perspective on something many people see every day and give little consideration to. *Signed limited edition of 25 printed on Moab fine art matte paper with archival inks.
