Young Giraffe By Robert Bateman

By Robert Bateman

Young Giraffe by Robert Bateman

"I wanted my portrait of this African juvenile to show the vertical thrust of youth. The young giraffe rises from a profusion of grasses, and its patterned, rust colored spots follow the curve of the neck nearly to the top of the paper. I also wanted to suggest the dust infused atmosphere of Africa, using blended dry colors of muted gray and saffron in the soft, multi-textured background of this original print. In spite of its size, the giraffe is a strangely delicate animal, therefore, I used rather delicate pastel colors and avoided contrast. The process of original printmaking appeals to me because it is a human process; it involves no complex optical equipment other than my own eyes. I believe that technology often separates us from nature, and I like the idea that my original prints are made by my hand."

In spite of its size, the giraffe is a strangely delicate animal and Bateman's composition and color choices emphasize this beautifully." ~ Robert Bateman
