P40E – Shirley and the Hawk
$145.00 – $1,150.00
Shirley and the Hawk is one of Suchiu’s early masterpieces, dating back to 1983, and a standout in his collection of aviation art. This striking piece features the iconic P-40 fighter aircraft, adorned with the fierce shark mouth markings that became synonymous with WWII fighter pilots. With its sharp, no-nonsense lines and aggressive design, the P-40 was a true legend in the skies, and Suchiu expertly captures its power and presence in this evocative painting.
The title Shirley and the Hawk reflects the tradition of American pilots naming their adversary aircraft, often giving Japanese planes feminine names. In this piece, Suchiu channels that historical detail, giving the P-40 its own character—an embodiment of strength and defiance.
This painting not only showcases Suchiu’s technical skill in capturing the essence of WWII aircraft but also celebrates his love for aviation history. As one of his early works, Shirley and the Hawk provides a nostalgic look at a time when fighter planes were as much about artistry as they were about combat.
For aviation enthusiasts and collectors, this limited-edition print is an opportunity to own a piece of history and admire the craftsmanship that made Suchiu a pioneer in aviation art.
