About the Item

A dark haired mystery rider in a 19th century habit heads into a dense forest populated by trees that represent natural elements that humanity finds delightful but are not natural at all in actuality. Her horse heeds the warning sign outside the forest, but the rider is focused directly ahead, along the golden path that becomes eclipsed not far ahead. Two hares spar on the side of the path, also disregarding the wooden sign. From the foreground, the taxidermy framework of the famous horse Comanche looks on, perhaps his skull is smiling in bemusement at the pending folly playing out. Comanche was a horse who is purported to be the only surviver of Custer's detachment of the U.S. 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. ARTIST BIO Artist Claire K. Stringer’s current series, Ama-Zone, is an exploration of feminine and equine archetypes, myths, and legends. The Ama-Zone works were originally inspired by 18th and 19th century European paintings depicting women riding with their horses in the woods, often alone. These women were called “Amazones” in French, after the legendary women warriors. Claire studied fine art at The Savannah College of Art and Design and received her BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. She concentrated in painting, drawing, and photography, and has been cultivating her personal layered and intricate style of ink wash painting since those early years. Claire lived and worked in New York City for several years after graduation, then moved from the right to left coast. After residing in the hot pink, turquoise, and palm-tree-studded world of Los Angeles for a few years, her paintings and drawings began to change. The grayscale and monochrome became vibrant color, and the sense of humor and irony was amplified. Claire has had solo shows in New York City, California, South Carolina and Wisconsin, and participated in group and juried shows nationally.
