About this work

This painting shows a dark, abstract shape on a light background. The shape looks like a mix of a horse and a person, with a long tail and legs. It's made up of many different parts, all blended together in a way that's hard to understand. The painting is done in a special way called decalcomania, which involves transferring paint from one surface to another. This technique gives the painting a unique, dreamlike quality.
