Oil on canvas, 2024, 180 × 150 cm (70.9 × 59.1 in)
Now this painting really turns heads. A detailed cityscape, likely London, becomes surreal through the sudden appearance of a giant lion. The absurdity is heightened by the calm reactions of passersby, including a child walking straight toward the wild animal. The title Kingdom adds another layer: it suggests both the lion’s symbolic rule and a nod to the United Kingdom itself. The level of detail and precision is extraordinary, making this work a true masterpiece.
