Bison is an original red abstract painting diptych on canvas by visual artist Shawn McNulty.

Fun Fact: The title was inspired by the original music video for One by U2 which shows powerful footage of bison running. The end of the video reveals that the bison are actually running off of a cliff, which is a bizarre behavior that occurs. The American bison, also widely known as the buffalo, once roamed North America in large herds. This diptych portrays two organic characters similar to my other diptych Kingdom. You might see two bison running single file, or two frames of one bison running. Look left to right to see the movement.
