Nestor Perkal’s inspiration rides the White Horse. With the bridle loose and reins held tight, he has illustrated and narrated the story of that image, seen as a child in a neighborhood shop window, which he imagines in the countryside but encounters as he strolls through the streets of Buenos Aires and which evoke in him the Argentina of his dreams. With the rigor of true gentleness, without loosing sight of the magic, without forgetting the wooden toy. The mane flows free in the wind, in the same wind that accompanied the indigenous people and the gaucho on their adventures. The Argentinean men, who crossed the landscape in search of food, land and family, made use of the horse on that epic crossing. The saddle was a useful contrivance until it became the norm. The verb to mount declines with the noun Mount. Perkal’s metaphor symbolizes concern, support, friendship and repose. His poetic memory is humanistic. It is that sensitive passion that becomes a real image. To this concept he adds the weave of the fabric, hand crafted in the north of Argentina. The loom reveals its cloth, brandished by guards and flags, identity and tradition. “Come quickly little White Horse, take me to the land where I was born… I have, have, have……….. three sheep in a shed. One gives me milk another gives me wool, the third gives me butter the whole week through” leather version: structure cm. 110 × 90 × H 35. seat cover in leather cm. 100 × 130. leather and fabric version: structure cm. 110 × 90 × H 35. seat cover in leather cm. 94 × 114. fabric cm. 102 × 134.
