Black Horse. Desert

The horse is painted thickly, almost sculpted; the ground is left dry, like earth.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.
