Caballo Series:   Gallop Ready by Jimmy Longoria  Image: Caballo is an exploration of the use of a mixture of vinyls and films with marker overdrawing.  The results give the horse a changing expression at the slightest variation of viewing perspective.  The subtle changes in color and light refraction provide a promise for articulating portraiture.  I am intrigued by the potential of subtle expression changes activated by the subtle movements of the viewer.  This piece is the first test to bring together my signature noodle-stroke executed in enamel marker and compositional architecture of working with biomorphic mosaic elements.
