For sale is a striking original contemporary painting of a horse. This piece captures incredible movement and power through a sophisticated mix of thick impasto palette knife strokes and dynamic paint splatters.
Key Features: • Technique: Extremely tactile, heavy-body paint application gives the horse a 3D, sculptural quality. The "splatter" effect at the hooves conveys a sense of speed and raw energy. • Color Palette: Rich earth tones—burnt sienna, umber, and ochre—highlighted by crisp, textured whites. • Provenance: This piece includes a professional gallery label on the reverse from "The Framing Gallery" (Middleton/Manchester), confirming its origin as a professionally handled gallery piece. • Ready to Hang: The canvas is gallery-wrapped (painted around the edges) and ready to be mounted without an external frame. Exact Dimensions: • Height: 53.5 cm (21 inches) • Width: 39.4 cm (15.5 inches) Condition Report
Overall Condition: Very Good Display Condition. Specific Details to Note: • The Front: The painted surface is in excellent condition with no chipping or cracking to the thick impasto. • The Reverse: * There is a small area at the top where the canvas has lifted slightly from the wooden bar (likely from being hung directly on a nail previously). This is strictly a cosmetic detail on the back and is not visible when the painting is on the wall at eye level. Could be easily fixed with another staple/glue. • There is some minor age-related spotting (foxing) on the raw canvas on the back, which is common for original works and does not affect the front.
