#26807 Jesus De Perceval

The artwork presents a fragmented equine figure dominating the central space. Here we observe a horse depicted in a style that dismantles conventional representation; its form is not rendered smoothly but rather constructed from a mosaic of angular shapes and textures. The animal appears to be grazing, its head lowered towards a small patch of red vegetation at the lower center of the composition.
The color palette is restricted primarily to earthy tones – browns, ochres, and yellows – with the singular splash of red providing a focal point. This limited range contributes to a sense of somberness and perhaps even desolation. The background is divided into two distinct areas: on the left, a pale, almost bleached-out space that suggests an undefined interior or landscape; on the right, vertical bands of yellow create a rhythmic pattern reminiscent of columns or stylized foliage.
The fragmented nature of the horse’s anatomy evokes a sense of deconstruction and vulnerability. The disjointed forms suggest not only physical disintegration but also perhaps a symbolic representation of trauma or loss. The animals posture, while seemingly naturalistic in its grazing action, is rendered with an unsettling awkwardness due to the fractured depiction.
The red patch of vegetation stands out as an anomaly within the muted color scheme. It could be interpreted as a symbol of life persisting amidst decay, or perhaps as a visual marker of suffering and pain. The overall effect is one of profound melancholy, prompting reflection on themes of fragility, destruction, and the precariousness of existence. The artist seems to explore the boundaries between representation and abstraction, challenging traditional notions of beauty and harmony.
