Little Devil in the Plums original work presents a densely layered and emotionally charged composition that captures the perpetual tension between beauty and brutality in the natural world. At the heart of the piece, a golden-hued winged serpent in mid-fall or surrender is enmeshed in a vivid tangle of ripe plums, and curling vines. The entwining body of the serpent seem both predatory and ornamental, threading through ripe fruit and clusters of botanical blue blossoms with sinuous elegance.
Rendered in Marx’s signature style, rich with anatomical detail, mythological undertones, and scientific precision. This original work pulses with life and decay. A scarlet moth rests near the bottom of the composition, offering a striking contrast and visual breath in a scene otherwise teeming with tension. The use of watercolor and colored pencil creates a hyper-detailed, almost otherworldly texture, pulling the viewer into an ecosystem where death is neither villain nor end, but part of an ongoing cycle.
