A curation by Vlad Merariu, Curator at Dance Artworks Gallery - This curation traces the enduring fascination with the horse as both companion and mythic figure, moving from classical portraiture to expressive abstraction to reveal its many symbolic lives. Artists here explore the horse as a mirror of human emotion: radiant stallions that burn with inner fire, quiet profiles that emanate nobility, and spectral figures that dissolve into mist and memory. Across vibrant color fields, gestural brushwork, and softly lit realism, the works oscillate between motion and stillness, capturing the tension between wild instinct and trained discipline. Mythic allusions to knights, saints, and zodiac signs sit alongside intimate studies of solitary animals, suggesting how this creature inhabits our dreams, rituals, and personal narratives. Together, these artworks invite viewers to consider the horse not merely as subject, but as a threshold between control and freedom, earth and sky, past and imagined futures.
