Renewal - Original Acrylic Ink Painting

Renewal – Original Ink Painting

Description:
Renewal is a striking large-scale original painting by artist Rhianna Catt, created using acrylic ink on high-quality paper. This highly detailed black and white work collages dozens of intricately rendered snakes, weaving together to form a bold and mesmerising composition.

Inspired by a long-standing fascination with snakes, this piece explores themes of eternity, renewal, and the cycles of life — reflected in the composition’s subtle echo of the ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a serpent eating its own tail. This symbolism holds deep personal meaning for Rhianna, who carries a tattoo of the ouroboros as a reminder of resilience and regeneration.

The monochromatic palette, meticulous detailing, and dynamic arrangement ensure that Renewal commands attention and would make a stunning focal point in any room, sparking conversation and intrigue.

This painting was selected for exhibition at the prestigious Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London in Spring 2023 — a testament to its impact and craftsmanship.
