Created by David Young between the years 2016 and 2017, the artwork titled “Shouting at the Carol Singers” presents a vibrant and dynamic scene.
The artwork depicts an older man leaning out of a brightly lit window, angrily shaking his fist at a group of young carol singers standing outside. The group of boys, all dressed in matching striped hats and brown coats, appear to be taken aback by the man’s reaction. The scene takes place in a snow-dusted, suburban setting with a dark, wintry background that contrasts with the warm light emanating from the house. A man holding a lantern and a car in the background add further depth and narrative to this engaging piece. The expressions and body language of the characters effectively convey the unexpected confrontation, capturing a moment of tension and surprise amidst the traditionally joyous activity of carol singing.
