‘Athenas Owl’ was created with Bunting’s signature dry brush technique, with Indian ink and a small brush. He attains the minute level of detail attained by the most accomplished pencil wielding draughtsman, but with a deeper level of contrast. He playfully merges together bold darkness with soft glides of an almost clean brush across the surface of the paper, bleeding out the final residue of ink in delicate, subtle details which breathe movement and life to the artwork. He juxtaposes order and chaos, by combining meticulous detail with expressive mark-making, and allows nature into his work in a chaotic cosmic dance of ink on paper which creates tessellated fractal patterns. Isles are adorned with icebergs and ice sculptures, commenting on class and climate change, with expressively drawn animal figures in the foreground giving a sense of mystery and movement.
