About this artwork
Painting: Oil, Acrylic, Pastel on Canvas.
This new series of paintings began in late 2020 when I was searching for new subject matter. I was drawn to how majestic and powerful horses can look regardless of the setting they’re placed in. I began finding vintage imagery of polo players posed on or standing by their horses and I found this to be a fascinating oportunity to get lost in creating new environments that focus on the gentle balance of duality.… Everything within these paintings is battling against another force; space vs. flatness, realism vs. fantasy, comedy vs. seriousness. The titles of each painting coincide with song titles from The Velvet Underground’s album “Loaded”.
The decision to keep this subject shrouded in mystery was intentional. I wanted this painting to appear as though it belonged in a dream; a surreal landscape that could only exist in one’s imagination or as a painting.
Dimensions of Painting: 30in. x 24in. x 2in.

Credentials
- Works on commission
« My paintings are my attempt at leaving physical memories for myself and others by way of portraiture. »
At the age of 15, on a trip to the Art Institute of Chicago with his parents, Jonathan Mcafee was stopped in his tracks by Warhol's 'Mao,' and definitely marked the start of his artistic pursuits. Today, Mcafee is busy composing expressive portraits centred on the theme of memory.
