FUNNY BUNNIES
~ ongoing project ~
ABOUT THIS PROJECT: Antria Pelekanou grew up in sunny Cyprus, where she had a series of different pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks and bunnies. Her grandparents own a small rabbit farm near their residence and as a child it was always a pleasure playing with their wild rabbits and hares. Most of them would kick, scratch or bite, but that didn’t stop her or her sisters from wanting to play with those cute, furry creatures. | Her new body of work titled ‘Funny Bunnies’ is cheerful, positive and entertaining. As an artist it gives her joy to make people laugh or smile. This is her initiative. To create her Funny Bunnies she spends some time researching and finding just the right image and composition. She then makes a drawing of the bunny as a study for the painting to come. She uses oils, ink, watercolour and casting resins to create the texture and aesthetics of Funny Bunnies. "I am currently working on a new series of funny bunnies and will introduce them in a hard-back book in 2012" -Antria Pelekanou |
