Description from the seller

Shipping

The artwork will be shipped stretched on its wooden stretcher frame, ready to hang, and securely packaged in a professional shipping box.

About the artwork

EQUUS works with archival imagery related to horses, drawing from historical photographs, equestrian documentation, and visual records from past centuries. The practice is based on appropriation and reinterpretation: existing images are revisited, fragmented, and transformed to create new compositions that shift their original meaning.

Among these sources are photographic records and references to equestrian representations from the 19th and 20th centuries, which the artist recontextualizes within a contemporary artistic framework. By appropriating and reworking these materials, EQUUS explores how images circulate through time and how cultural symbols persist across different visual eras.

The horse itself carries a powerful symbolic presence throughout human history. Often associated with strength, freedom, nobility, and spiritual movement, it has appeared in art and mythology as a figure of vitality and transformation. Within EQUUS’s work, the horse becomes both an image and an archetype—an enduring symbol revisited through the lens of archival memory and contemporary appropriation.
