It features a monument I saw just outside the Vatican while visiting Rome this summer. I am not sure who or what the monument commemorates or celebrates but it was strange and marvelous. In it, a man in a fancy uniform rides a large and wonderful horse, with a little dog running alongside them. Man and horse both look down at the dog, who looks up at them creating a sort of circle within the center of the composition.
The painting is entirely composed of three colors--red, blue, and yellow-- and features black painterly outlines over the color-blocked offset base colors. A primary yellow, bright orange-red, and Yves Klein / Frida Kahlo super-matte ultramarine blue make this piece rather striking and special.
It'll ship, as always, wrapped in layers of glassine and padding and joy from my pretty new studio in San Leandro California.
