Titled Outside is barking, this painting captures a quiet moment within a room as rain falls outside. A dog obediently sits at the centre of the scene, while stylised raindrops enter the room through the window, blurring the lines between dream and reality. We can observe the contrast between the dog's obedience and the unrestrained power of the rain outside that breaches the manmade confines of the room, defying human attempts to tame nature and shelter from its force. This work exemplifies Webb's investigation into the ethos of the "Wild West", the rain symbolising humanity's failed attempt at ruling over nature. These paintings delve into a space that exists on the threshold, where fantastical elements intersect with the everyday world. Webb's creations serve as reflections on the commonplace wonders of nature, revealing the inherent beauty found within its ordinary aspects.
