CAMARGUE-QUARTER HORSE (Verseau)
Hand signed and numbered
This horse is one of twelve life-size paintings from Lara Nickel's monumetal installation, 12 Horses – Homage to Jannis Kounellis. Presented in a non-traditional way (positioned on the ground and installed perpendicularly to the wall), the images of the horses appear to be standing in the room, making the architecture itself the setting of the paintings. Nickel’s 12 Horses – Homage to Jannis Kounellis uses painting as a sculptural intervention, inviting the audience to physically engage with the artwork. Using Kounellis’ original piece as an art historical reference, Nickel’s paintings are not only portraits of horses but painting-as-illusion, painting-as-object, and painting-as-situation.
Verseau is from the Camargue region in Southern France (a region famous for white horses, black bulls, and pink flamingos). He is from the Manade Laurent ranch (one of the oldest Camargue Manades), where Camargue bulls and horses have been bred traditionally for three generations.
