Artwork Description

I love cockatoos they are my favourite Australian bird…

I’m from New Zealand and as a kid one of my fond memories was of a cockatoo called ‘Pickles’ that lived in the local hotel, he’s actually still there and has been since 1984! He was the first cockatoo that I had ever seen in real life and I loved going there to say hello to him, I also wanted to let him out of his cage as I’d prefer him to be free! When I moved to Australia 20 years ago I loved seeing wild cockatoos flying freely and still do to this day! They are just beautiful.

I wanted to capture their cheeky nature, they are perched on sprawling branch…I wanted to do a modern take with my Urban Pop Art Style, the highly textured birds really pop out at you, and the tree with thrown black paint adds movement to the piece.

It has been finished with satin varnish, signed on the front ‘Debstar’ my street name :) and is ready to hang.

Artist Bio

Deborah Lang is a self-taught Australian artist whose distinctive works are held in private collections throughout Australia and internationally. Named a Bluethumb Top 100 artist, recent highlights include two works from her Snapshots of Summer collection being acquired together for an interior project in Manhattan.

Also known as Debstar, Deborah works from her home-based Brisbane studio.

She’s a mixed-media artist known for her bright colours and works on book pages.

Exploring textures and playing with different mediums and subjects is how she keeps her zest for creativity!

Her subjects pop from canvases oozing with texture. Her paintings are varied as she takes inspiration from the world around her, especially drawing on the simplicity and beauty of the everyday.

Her latest collection under Lumière features works on wood panel, crafted to evoke a symphony of light, texture and emotion with a sense of quiet luxury.

Each piece captures a moment suspended in abstraction. Rich textures, layered pigments and subtle metallics evoke movement, mood and introspection.

At the end of the day, she just wants people to smile when they look at her work.

“A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
