About the art
Artist statement
Set against a vibrant backdrop of rich and thick oil paint texture, the luxuriously purple spoiled horse commands attention with its powerful image. The application of heavy and thick dark colors adds to the depth and intrigue of the painting's composition. Upon closer inspection, the tactile quality of the surface creates a mesmerizing contrast, with the thick layer of oil paint creating a sense of material depth that breaks away from the thinner canvas base. Thick, luscious layers of oil paint applied directly from the tube create a tactile texture.
This work is a statement piece that exudes an aura of powerful presence and exclusivity. The horse appears content, taking life in stride with an unwavering sense of self-assuredness that speaks volumes about his status as the king of luxury. This is a can't-miss opportunity to own a truly magnificent artwork that will undoubtedly become the centerpiece of any collection.
