Challenge Issued (2020) 绘画 由 Anthony Dunphy

The vibrant bantam fighting cock stands tall and proud, its plumage a riot of fiery oranges, bold reds, and deep purples that seem almost alive in the dazzling sun. Its beady eyes gleam with an unyielding spirit, daring any other roosters to step into the ring.
The artist's skilled hand has captured every feather with such precision that they appear to ruffle in the unseen breeze, each detail enhanced by the high-quality acrylics that seem to glow with the intensity of the creature's battle cry. The unstretched canvas, a generous 20X16 inches, gives the scene a raw and unbridled feel, as if the rooster has just burst forth from the very fabric of the artwork itself to claim dominance.

The background is a tumultuous blend of earthy browns and greens, suggesting the arena where the battle will take place—a stark contrast to the opulent colors of the bird has been carefully crafted to show the intensity of the setting, a stage for the ultimate showdown. The use of professional-grade acrylics has allowed for a rich, vivid representation of the bantam's challenge, the colors so deep that one can almost feel the heat of the competition.

A protective coat of art varnish has been applied to the canvas, sealing in the passion and vigor of the scene. This not only gives the painting a glossy, finished look but also serves to protect the vivid hues from the ravages of time and the prying eyes of the unworthy. The varnish seems to add a layer of defiance to the cock's stance, as if it too knows that this is a battle that must be fought and won.

The canvas hangs loose, untamed by a frame, as if to symbolize the wild nature of the contest that is about to unfold. It is a declaration of war, a visual manifesto of the rooster's unyielding spirit. This painting is not just an artwork; it is a challenge to any who dare to gaze upon it, a declaration that this bantam is the undisputed king of the coop. The energy and tension captured within its bounds are palpable, inviting the viewer to step into the ring and feel the fiery breath of the combatant upon their face.

In this uncensored depiction, the rooster stands as a testament to the raw power and unbridled passion of the natural world, a reminder that even the smallest of creatures can possess the heart of a giant. The canvas seems to vibrate with the anticipation of the fight, the air around it thick with the scent of feathers and blood, and the promise of victory. It is a masterpiece that speaks to the primal instincts within us all, a silent roar that echoes through the ages.
