About the art
Artist statement
This artwork depicts a voluptuous pink horse taking a bath in a luxurious tub. A vintage glass chandelier with luscious ornaments is hanging from the ceiling, and the entire scene is one of absurd luxury: an impossible idea.
Part of a continuing series of horses, this piece is centered around the idea of a sense of weirdness and ambiguity. This exudes through-out this painting as the artist uses the dark background and black bathtub to further emphasize this scene of lavish luxury.
"I found it to be a good metaphor for the art world in general: something absurdly impossible yet incredibly attractive. Totally absurd scenario, but the visual, I found, is worth exploring" said Dominic Virtosu.
The artwork comes framed in a black wooden american box style frame. Framed size: 136x106x3 cm.
(unframed: 130x160cm).
