About the Item
3rd Version (Ben Patterson)’s "Masks We Wear, Sometimes it's a Cape" is a 2022 oil painting on cradled panel measuring 12 x 9 x 1.5 inches. The work is unframed but ready to hang. This minimal yet imaginative portrait features a kingfisher perched elegantly on a pale, winding branch. The bird’s feathers are stylized to resemble a flowing cape, adding a heroic or transformative quality to the composition.
Patterson uses a muted tan background to direct full attention to the subject, emphasizing its dynamic silhouette and the clever interplay between realism and symbolism. The kingfisher’s natural textures—especially the fine detail of its plumage and beak—contrast sharply with the flowing stylization of its cape-like feathers, rendered in a saturated turquoise with bold outlines. The work balances whimsical narrative with a sleek contemporary finish.
As part of Patterson’s "Masks We Wear" series, this piece explores the roles we adopt and the quiet power of identity and self-presentation. Subtle yet striking, it is a compelling addition to any collection seeking intimate works that offer narrative depth through elegant minimalism.
