About
Meredith Walker’s "Flocked" is a striking example of contemporary folk art infused with symbolic surrealism and handcrafted textile aesthetics. This original acrylic and gouache painting on canvas showcases a large, ethereal dove-like figure rendered in soft sage green with mottled detailing. Surrounding this central creature are five smaller birds in vibrant sky blue and cobalt tones, their forms dancing across the burgundy-red background like constellations in flight, and delicately arranged within a jewel-toned framework that evokes both the intimacy of stitched quilts and the mysticism of ancient iconography. The meditative repetition of shapes, warm earth tones, and intuitive symmetry invite collectors to contemplate the interconnectedness of all living things, offering a serene yet visually dynamic presence in any space.
This 20-inch square original artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Convenient delivery is available in the Los Angeles area, and affordable shipping options are offered throughout the Continental U.S. and internationally.
