The Black Horse – Hear&Listen
- In the Book of Revelation, one of the Four Horsemen rides a black horse, symbolising famine and economic despair. He carries scales, representing the weighing of food rations during scarcity.
- Hades, the greek god of the underworld, rides a black chariot drawn by four black horses. This chariot was used when he abducted Persephone, dragging her into the underworld and causing the cycle of the seasons.
- Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor, was said to have a black celestial horse that could outrun the wind and was a divine gift from the Sky God, Tengri.
The background motif represents wind as reference to Kublai Khan’s horse that could outrun the wind. Hear&Listen was chosen because of the howling winds I heard while making the painting.
Note: The Canvas Print version has white text
