Vipoo Srivilasa
NGV Collection
We are delighted that "Beneath the Tree of Love" by Vipoo Srivilasa is part of the @ngvmelbourne Collection.
Vipoo notes: "Beneath the Love Tree" is my way of honouring love, commitment, and companionship. Inspired by the ceramic sculpture "The Music Lesson" from the Chelsea Porcelain Factory in the NGV collection, I wanted to blend old styles with a modern twist.
This piece shows the close bond between two people and their pet, symbolising unity and harmony in a loving relationship. It also shows a few pairs of animals who often visit my backyard.
I hope the piece brings you the feelings of warmth and happiness. A celebration of love...
