ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I love drawing movement and started to use the horse as model alongside my figurative work around 3 years ago. This drawing, from my ongoing series of horses in motion, features a horse free jumping, a snap shot of time when it leaps to clear an invisible fence. By depicting the horse in monochrome, without colour, it focuses us on its physicality and the lack of background gives us a strong negative space which adds to the composition. The drawing is made on gessoed wooden panel and is fixed and varnished so there is no need to frame behind glass. This means that it is ready to hang and it can be viewed without any obstruction, as if you were viewing an oil painting. This gives us a sense of speed, power and weightlessness. I hope that the viewer gets a sense of forward energy and freedom from this work.
