War is/was reflected upon as an equestrian activity for the latter part of humanity. Horses propelled some armies into unstoppable forces that changed history. In the modern era some influences of the impact of horses on society are still apparent; such as the Clydesdales used to sell beer, Mounted Police at special outdoor events, commemorative statues and art. Some statues commissioned by the government uphold special aesthetics to symbolize the level of honor attributed to the subject matters accolades.
All these genres are represented in Drakes work. He incorporates the propaganda and grandiose imagery of war in toys and figurines and period statuettes by printing and digitally altered photos with some hints of oils or acrylic sparsely brushed on the incredibly large canvas. The work is epic in size and delivery. The pallette is so vibrant and controlled. The idea is so clear and realized he even included CGI animated shorts on screens to further illustrate his concepts.
Linda Warren picked a winner in my opinion. Very DOAP.
Kudos to the bartender Kelsie for telling me about the show and the merlot.
