Subject

Leaping horse against a stenciled background

Description

In the extreme foreground of this composition is the form of a leaping horse diagonally oriented across the picture plane. The animal has been rendered with the use of undulating line formations and a sandy dappled color scheme. In the background, there is the stenciled patterning so familiar to Mukhallad Al-Mukhtar’s work. The rainbow-like shimmering of color is overlaid with reduced forms of both representational figures and geometric patterning.
