Jazz Horse Series

 

The Jazz/Horse series is expressive and free flowing. Despite the perceived erotic overtones of many of these Jazz/Horse paintings, this very merging with the “Other” brings us into a timeless present moment and gives us a glimpse of the eternal pulse of life outside of our temporal perception of time and isolation. They are Muse-driven from the primal life force within each of us.  Use of the equine form represents this physical, powerful and beautiful carnal life force. They are a door to a more spirited and spiritual life; a celebration of passion and surrender of ones’ self to the Other and a total merging with the creative pulse of being*

 

*My earlier “Horse Series” were religious thematically and they led to the American Archetype and Icon Series. These current ongoing Jazz Horse paintings share the curving forms and use of the horse as a subject but they are spontaneous and celebrate the carnal.
