Crow

Crow is a 30 × 24 cm acrylic on canvas completed in 2025. The crow — a bird long associated with intelligence, mystery, and the darker edges of folklore — is a fitting subject for Viviers, who has consistently found genuine depth in the animal world. Painted in a compact format that concentrates the subject's presence, Crow is focused and atmospheric: the bird rendered with care and a sense of stillness that contrasts with the intensity of its gaze. Walt Viviers is a Pretoria-based South African fine artist whose animal paintings have been widely shared and are among his most collected works. This original acrylic on canvas is available for acquisition.
