Description:
Discover the quiet strength and deep intelligence captured in Wisdom in the Eyes, an original 22" x 30" hand-drawn wall art poster by Artist Kris Curran of Curran Artworks. This striking portrait showcases the powerful yet soulful face of a gorilla, brought to life with masterful precision using India ink pen and richly layered Copic alcohol-colored ink pens on premium Bristol board paper.
The gorilla’s gaze is the heart of this artwork—piercing, thoughtful, and deeply human. Every stroke and shadow has been meticulously crafted to reflect the creature’s emotional depth, from the heavy brow and expressive eyes to the textured fur and strong jawline. Dark inky lines define the contours of the face, while subtle gradients of earthy browns, cool greys, and warm undertones create a sense of volume, dignity, and realism.
The face fills the composition, offering an intimate and commanding presence. This close-up portrayal not only highlights the gorilla’s physical features but also evokes a sense of connection—inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on the shared emotions between species.
Wisdom in the Eyes is more than a wildlife portrait—it's a tribute to the quiet nobility of one of nature’s most majestic beings. Whether displayed in a study, living room, or gallery wall, this piece becomes a powerful focal point, stirring awe and empathy in all who behold it.
This original, hand-drawn poster is a celebration of nature, expression, and artistry—ideal for animal lovers, collectors, and those who admire art that speaks to the soul.
