About this artwork
I have seen fallow deer jump a 2 metre high fence. So this buck would have had no difficulty jumping this stile. I have painted the stile and the field behind it before but the only elements I brought forward are the stile itself with its step for humans , the tree with ivy climbing it on one side and the unkempt hedge on the other. The… field behind has disappeared into an amorphous landscape of trees and broken ground. The deer itself is not at all anatomically correct. Last time I saw a body like this it had been abandoned by the poachers I had disturbed. There are two distinct parts – the body leaping the fence with its feet tucked up and the back view of the forequarters and head presented more or less from the front, toes spread as it makes the leap and the head tossed to one side, in line with the leap. Instead, it seems that this buck wanted to show off its antlers.
