Dancing Tigers is part of Cynthia Howard's series of oil paintings where a colourful abstract interpretation emanates from the realistically rendered. The series stems from the perspective that humans and creatures have a dynamic inner world that, whilst intangible, is rich and ever present. Cynthia Howard often nurtures her pieces with layers of detail so that viewers can sit intimately with the painting (for example as close a distance as one might sit next to a close friend) and be absorbed in the intricacies depicted. However, the work is not so detailed that the viewer loses the sense that the image is a painting and as such is an intentional construction being presented for contemplation.
