Horse Sculpture I

A study in arrested motion, Horse Sculpture I renders the elemental power of the horse through the measured restraint of canvas finished in Tiza Gesso — a ground that lends the surface a chalky, sculptural depth rarely achieved in two dimensions. At thirty-two and a half inches tall, the composition commands a wall with quiet authority, its proportions generous enough to anchor a room yet precise enough to converse with the architecture around it. From the John Richard collection, it speaks the language of the atelier: considered, unhurried, and unmistakably assured.
