About the Item

Horse portrait. Americana colors. Acrylics, mixed media on canvas, 60" x 48"x 2". Gallery wrapped, wired and ready to hang. In “The Patriot”, the harnessed strength of the workhorse infused with red, white and blue becomes homage to the icon that built our country besides us. The true patriot. This modern “Urban Equine” has been said to "...break new ground in fresh treatments, bold and unexpected colors and mediums. Public statement and personal passion, Donna B's work speaks to a new generation and new style of collector, who resonate with the innate eloquence spoken by the timeless horse." About the Artist: My process often moves me around large canvases placed on the floor; these open white spaces co-create with me. With attention to the correct attitude of the horse I paint in quick, concentrated strokes, mixing mediums in freshly layered spontaneity. My own movement is expressed into my work. Often a final series of wildly contained drips and splashes define each horse’s unique personality and conformation. Their place in the overall composition is revealed. As my art matures I blend the persistent complexities of power and vulnerability. The horse’s unique ability to evoke universal personalities is a constant for me. I feel that while I continue in the tradition of the symbolic equine in art, my Urban Equines break new ground in fresh treatments, bold, unexpected colors and mediums, and a contemporary clarity that speaks to a new generation of art collectors. Elegant and sophisticated my works articulate a simplicity of what is beautiful, in a fluid style that is at home in both formal collections as well as the large-scale spaces of modern design.
