"Raven Pair"
Anthony Gchachu (Zuni Pueblo)
Copper and gold leaf on canvas · 6" × 6" · Signed lower right · Original, one of a kind
Two ravens share a branch. One faces out, settled, tail low. The other turns back over its shoulder, feathers lifted at the crown, caught in the middle of noticing something. Gchachu paints the moment between them as a paired company. Anyone who has watched ravens knows they are rarely alone for long.
Blue runs through every feather in short deliberate strokes, the way light moves across a raven's back when it shifts in the sun. Behind them, copper leaf fills the upper field in warm worked passes; gold leaf holds the ground below.
Ravens keep steady company across Zuni country and the wider Southwest. Gchachu gives two of them a quiet moment on a branch and lets the metal carry the warmth of late desert light. This piece honors companionship.
Small in scale and easy to place — a shelf, a desk, a wall of gathered works. Ships ready to hang.
