Description
Introducing “Spirit of Ego” – a captivating 9″x12″ oil painting on Belgian Linen by David Isbester. This poignant piece transports viewers to the old railway precinct in Canowindra, where a large silo shed stands as a silent sentinel of the past. Amidst this industrial landscape, a black horse emerges, its presence lending a sense of mystique and symbolism to the scene. As Isbester’s childhood memories intertwine with his artistic vision, the horse becomes a poetic reference to his own sense of pride and stubbornness. Painted en plein air, “Spirit of Ego” captures the dynamic interplay between man-made structures and the natural world, evoking a sense of nostalgia and introspection. With each brushstroke, Isbester invites viewers to ponder the complexities of human nature and the enduring legacy of our past.
