About The Artwork
expand_more
This exceptional piece of contemporary textile art, created in 2003, captures the raw energy and fluid motion of a galloping horse. Moving away from traditional paint, the
entire composition is meticulously constructed using an intricate appliqué and embroidery technique, making it a masterclass in modern fiber manipulation.
The canvas is a high-quality, sand-colored water-repellent fabric. This sturdy, matte base provides a beautiful textural contrast to the figure it holds, mimicking the natural, dusty terrain of an open field. The structure itself is built to last, featuring a robust, premium wooden internal frame (chassis) over which the specialized textile is professionally stretched and secured. The central subject, a powerful galloping horse, is rendered entirely in rich black tones. Instead of brushstrokes, its muscular form is brought to life through a collage of expertly stitched fabric fragments pieces. These diverse materials give the artwork a striking three-dimensional depth and a tactile quality. To capture the magic of light and motion, the artisan integrated subtle, shimmering elements into the mane and body, which catch the light beautifully as you view the piece from different angles. Every single element is bound together with a variety of specialized threads using advanced sewing and embroidery stitches.
