About this work
A nude woman kneels inside a battered blue rowboat, head thrown back and mouth open in a scream, arms flung outward as a dense flock of white seabirds swirls around her head and shoulders. The boat sits on dark, still water that mirrors its hull and the scattered birds below.
The palette is almost monochrome, deep blacks and navy blues broken only by slashing white strokes for the birds and warm flesh tones for the figure. Brushwork is loose, gestural, and heavily built up, giving the surface a raw, urgent texture. The high contrast and screaming pose create a tense, nightmarish atmosphere true to the title.
