innocence-and-power-fantasy-art

The lion lies at her feet, comfortable — she interacts with him as though the ratio of their respective size and capability is simply not the subject. The title makes the contrast explicit and then lets the image undercut it: the innocence and the power are not in opposition here, they're coexisting, and that coexistence is what the piece is about. A gentle image in terms of mood despite its unusual subject, and one that tends to work across a range of rooms — bedroom, living room, hallway.
