Description
Title: Of the Landscape
Medium: Mixed Media on Canvas
Signature: Signed Lower Left and Titled Verso
Provenance: Private Collection
Unframed
Lot Description: Declan O’Connor, Of the landscape, mixed media on canvas, signed lower left. A striking and emotive composition featuring a stylised white horse standing at the edge of a vivid, textured landscape rendered in expressive impasto. The background is a riot of colour—reds, pinks, purples, yellows, and blues—applied in gestural, abstract blocks that create a dreamlike field of energy and motion. O’Connor’s bold linework and confident palette evoke both the power and solitude of the horse, set against a painterly landscape of imagination.
