#8153 • Tomaino Mixed Media Rocking Horses and Spiral Framed Artwork, 39 x 31"
Part of $2.8 Million McLean Mansion Luxury Downsizing Auction (timed auction by Prime Auction Solutions)
Status: Sold
A striking mixed-media work by Italian artist Tomaino, signed in red paint on the face of the composition. The piece features a bold, concentrically drawn spiral at center - rendered in energetic charcoal or black medium on a cream ground - surrounded by approximately a dozen stylized rocking horse figures, a recurring motif in the artist's celebrated "cavalli" series. Accents of vivid red collaged paper elements punctuate the corners and field of the composition, lending a dynamic tension between the raw gestural drawing and applied materials. The work is presented in a black wood floater frame with a silver inner lip. Accompanied by the artist's exhibition catalogue "Tomaino: mani piedi cavalli spose," published by Galleria Tornabuoni (Firenze/Pietrasanta), providing strong provenance and art-historical context for the horse imagery. Size: 39 x 31".
