TIKOB Oil on Canvas

Original oil on canvas painting by Nikki Carr

100 x 80 x 4cm

One of the things that is a constant fascination to me is the underlying structure of a horse's beautiful face. I can spend hours endeavoring to capture every vein and ripple of muscle beneath the surface that is so much a part of their expression and personality. They are, by nature, a contradiction - sublime beauty and softness on the outside, clothing a muscular structure capable of enormous power and strength beneath. Capturing this duality is both a passion and struggle that is likely to last a lifetime!

Created on a 40mm deep wood panel, finished on all four sides. Strung and ready to hang.
