In The Red Owl by Tye Adla, one cannot help but draw parallels to Kenojuak Ashevak's iconic The Enchanted Owl, which preceded Adla's by nearly a decade. Adla’s vibrant fledgling, with its own striking pose and rich scarlet plumage, seems to be in the midst of a playful attempt to emulate the grandeur of its famous predecessor. The whimsical splay of feathers and the use of bold, contrasting colours suggest a delightful nod to The Enchanted Owl, perhaps imagining this little one's aspirations to one day unfurl into the red counterpart of Kenojuak’s enchanted creature.
