POAP18 This is a specialist modern postcard by Theo Ellison of Entombment showing this incredible creation of bird photo art which was the photo used to enter the annual photographers awards of Charity London with details on reverse of this unique collectors souvenir unused and mint.
Ellison, has transformed the bird to something ethereal and beautiful. Inspired by the significance of colour in the courtship behaviour of birds, he explores the power of seduction and how through colour and lighting, he can coax the viewer into enjoying something they may ordinarily find objectionable. Ellison is drawn to using birds in his work as they are well suited to exploring ideas around our own primal and animalistic drives. Where human biological desires are hidden behind a cloak of complex and interlinked behaviours, birds are much clearer.
The colour blue saturates _Entombment, _which likens the common grey bird to something more exotic, a peacock perhaps. Ellison observes, _the feral pigeon, not the most celebrated of birds, is shown in an almost religious context, with its iridescent purple and green plumage brought to the foreground_. Away from the context of the street, it has been transformed into something culturally worthy of wonder. Ellison is drawn to this old trope of finding the beauty in the mundane, an idea that embodies romanticism and a kind of acceptance.
