The creature dominates the long, narrow board, its powerful jaws open wide to reveal jagged rows of sharp, irregular teeth. The alligator’s stance—standing or mid-stride on muddy, textured ground—adds a sense of movement and earthy immediacy. Above, a grey-tinged sky stretches across the background, lending the scene a moody, atmospheric quality that enhances the creature’s presence.
painted on board, the work is presented in a hand-painted wooden frame, carefully prepared and finished by the artist himself to complement the rustic charm of the piece. The reverse of the artwork is lined with a unique collage of antique backing papers, a detail that reflects rix’s interest in craftsmanship and material character.
