Tiger on Glitter Cream By Rose Corcoran

Rose Corcoran is a contemporary fine artist, whose work centres around the power of the animal kingdom. For Corcoran, art serves a purpose: her beautiful depictions of exotic beasts both represent their strength and magnificence, as well as their vulnerability, as increasingly endangered species face the threat of extinction. 'Tiger on Glitter Cream' depicts the majestic head of a tiger, just entering at the edge of the print. Against a glittered, cream background, Corcoran has sketched the animal in strokes of black and grey charcoal, rendering every tiny detail - from the slightest whisker to the delicate texture of fur - to capture the vitality of the fearsome animal with breathtaking skill and sensitivity.
