Description

13.C by Joseph Piccillo

Original Horse Drawing

Throughout the second half of the 20th century, and for the first two decades of the 21st , Piccillo brought virtuosic draftsmanship to American conceptual art. In the years when abstraction dominated the artistic landscape, Piccillo’s hyperrealist work was populated by figures dramatically rendered against a stark black or white background. Rarely in repose, the figures were tense with potential energy or captured at the instant of release. Working at a large scale and with immense skill, his work anticipated the rediscovery and revival of figurative artworks that animates contemporary artists today.

Horses have meant many things to many cultures. They stand for strength, freedom, wisdom, and even the divine. From ancient myths to modern life, they continue to inspire and symbolize power and endurance. Whether as noble warriors, spiritual guides, or loyal companions, horses hold a special place in human history.
