About this artwork
The Powerful Owl is Australia's largest owl, native to the forests and woodlands of the south-east. They feed on forest mammals including possums, flying foxes and rabbits. Breeding pairs mate for life. Their call is a long, slow 'whoo-hoo'.
Owls represent qualities such as wisdom, protection, spiritual guidance and transition.
I recently travelled to Japan where I visited the Kobaien Ink studio in Nara. There I was honoured with a 90 year-old ink… stick, which I have used to paint this owl - you can see this beautiful ink stick in one of the photos.
For the pine tree I used a rare Kobaien Ochimatsu pine resin ink (it seemed appropriate!), and Saibiboku colours.
The painting is done on fine, handmade dragon cloud paper. The image is H:33.5cm x W: 42cm, dry mounted by the artist on Fabriano archival 300gsm paper.
The quality of materials used means the beauty and value of this work will increase over time, providing you with an investment that will last for generations.
Arlo Mercia, a full-time artist, explores the gentle elegance of the natural world through Oriental brush painting. She has been honoured with the artist name on her seal stamp: Tao Ya Li and her work is featured on the website of Kobaien Inks of Japan. Using the venerable Four Treasures - ink stick, ink stone, brushes, and paper - she expertly marries the Gongbi technique of fine-line painting with the expression of her subjects' unique essence. Her art, meticulously planned yet seemingly spontaneous, captures not the objective reality of her subjects but their inherent spirit, evoking a soothing tranquillity in viewers.
