Tom Chambers 'Saccharine Perch'

 'Saccharine Perch'
This art piece reminds me of the nursery rhyme '4 and twenty black birds' because he had a cake that was filled with little birds and when he cut it open they all flew out. It is dusk and a wild looking girl holds a cake that is quickly being eaten by small birds. The colour scheme is dark and the tone of the background warm and subdued. Yet the girls blue dress and bright yellow cake has a strong contrast in the foreground.The colours are harmonious and the lighting emphasises the focal point. Its symmetrical and mysterious. Without her face it makes the image seem more daunting and creepy - how do I even know she has a head?
