Title; JOYFUL GALLOP This vibrant image features two stylised horses intertwined in a dynamic pose, their bodies overlapping and legs extended as if captured mid-motion. One horse is rendered in earthy beige tones, while the other contrasts sharply in shades of teal and green. The artist's use of bold, flat colours creates a striking graphic quality, with the horses outlined crisply against a background divided into four vivid colour blocks: red, bright blue, yellow, and deep navy blue. The composition conveys a sense of fluidity and tension between the two horses, possibly symbolising duality, balance, or conflict. Their expressive eyes and the energy of their limbs evoke a spirited interaction, which might be interpreted as a dance or a struggle. The background’s geometric colour fields—bright primary and secondary hues—add to the dynamic feeling, creating vivid contrast that emphasises the horses' forms. This stylistic choice draws from modernist influences, where colour and shape are utilised for emotional and symbolic effect rather than naturalistic depiction. Overall, the piece feels both energetic and harmonious, blending symbolic imagery of horses—often associated with freedom, power, and vitality—with a modern, abstract approach that invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between the two figures and the bold world they inhabit.
