Small Contemporary Painting By Karibou - Voyage en Poule (Journey By Chicken) - 16¼" x 16¼"

Voyage en poule [Journey by Chicken] is an oil on cardboard executed with lively, textured brushwork. Against a softly modulated slate‑blue ground, a large saffron‑gold hen glides in profile, its feathery body built from short, impasto strokes punctuated by a small red beak and dark claws. Perched playfully on its back, a chalky white cat faces forward, its form lightly scumbled so it reads as airy and weightless. The composition is spare and centered, the diagonal of the bird suggesting movement across open sky.

The painting carries a gentle, dreamlike humor, pairing serenity with a quiet sense of adventure. Cool sky and warm plumage create a tender contrast, while the simple stage and buoyant rhythm of the brushwork suggest freedom, companionship, and a childlike trust. It leaves the viewer with the feeling of a small, improbable voyage undertaken with grace and good cheer. This whimsical painting, with its vivid orange bird and dreamy little rider, carries the charm of a storybook scene brought to life. Its bright, agreeable colors and gentle fantasy make it a lovely fit for cozy corners.
