Description

This work of Jean-Philippe Ghiglione 's dynamic and expressive painting depicts a cavalcade of horses in motion. Painted in oil with a palette knife, it is distinguished by its gestural, semi-abstract style. The horses, rendered in energetic strokes of brown, black, white, and yellow, appear to leap from the canvas, carried along by a powerful and spontaneous momentum.

The white background accentuates the effect of speed and freedom, giving the impression that the animals are galloping in a bright, almost unreal light. The material is worked with vigor, evoking both the muscular strength of the horses and the wind surrounding them. The contours are deliberately blurred, reflecting the intensity of the movement rather than the precision of the shapes.

The signature at the bottom left - recognizable among other things by its free line - confirms the authenticity of the Ghiglione style, which explores here, as often, the themes of wild nature and animal vitality.
