What lies behind the mask? Artist's surreal - and disturbing - exploration of the world of the birder

                                       

What - if anything - is artist John Boyd (68) trying to tell us about birders in this slightly disturbing painting, cryptically entitled As Ornithology Is? The work is due to go under the hammer at an online sale of Modern British and Irish Art to be conducted by auction house Bonhams between March 9 and March 18. The pre-sale estimate is that it will fetch between £3,000 and £5,000.
