LUSITANO (Thor)
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 Using Kounellis’ original piece as an art historical reference, Nickel’s paintings are not only portraits of horses but painting-as-illusion, painting-as-object, and painting-as-situation.
Thor is a Lusitano originally from Brazil and now living in Las Vegas, NM. He is a prize-winning cutting horse (separating a cow from the herd).
