Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Sauvage (Wild) - 14¼" x 14¼"

Sauvage [Wild] is an oil on cardboard painted with short, tactile strokes that build a gentle impasto across a canopy of foliage. The composition places a dark feline head emerging from the thicket at the lower left, its amber eyes and a small white highlight catching the light against layered greens that range from chartreuse to olive with touches of blue-gray. The brushwork remains loose and atmospheric, leaning toward an impressionistic handling of leaf and shadow. Presented with a simple light wood frame and white mat.

The mood is hushed and watchful, a private meeting at the edge of the wild. The cat’s steady gaze carries a mix of curiosity and self-possession, while the dappled greens whisper of cool air and the quiet pulse of nature. Fur and foliage meet in a harmonious balance, creating an intimate tension between concealment and revelation. The overall impression is serene yet alert, like a secret kept in the undergrowth that quietly invites a longer look.

This painting fits beautifully in a quiet reading nook, an entryway, or a bedroom where its blend of mystery and calm can shape an inviting atmosphere. Its serene yet alert mood makes it a compelling choice for anyone drawn to art that reveals more with time. It also serves as a thoughtful gift for cat lovers.
