A colourful, stylised figure raises a blue wind instrument to its mouth in “Blew” by Susanne Butcher. The face combines green, white and dark fields with blue eyes, pink markings above the eyelids and a small red mouth. Large blue-green curls and red flower-like shapes frame the head against a near-black background.
The instrument’s curved tubing and round opening on the left echo the looping hair and flowing lines of the clothing. Creamy white, scalloped fields form a decorative collar across the chest, while pink, turquoise, yellow and red appear in angular and organic shapes below. Fine, intersecting marks and visible layers give the surface a densely worked character.
The figure moves between portraiture and fantasy. Open eyes and the instrument at the lips may suggest a moment held within a musical note, while repeated colours give the composition its own visual rhythm. The vertical 90 × 100 cm format brings face, instrument and costume together in a close view filled with details to discover.
