Inka Essenhigh
Pegasus
2001, oil on canvas
267 x 220cm |
Pegasus
is a celebration of sinuous, elegant, energetic drawing. Focusing
on mythical horses, Essenhigh delights in the curving, twisting
lines of their flowing manes and muscular bodies. Like
many of the figures in her recent paintings, they seem on
the point of bursting out of the image, momentarily stilled
in a quivering evocation of throbbing energy and life. |
