Ebenezer Singh’s recent series of horse paintings emerge from this tradition and from his own sensorial life. These horses are tamed by his instincts.They are spiritual discoveries, poetical symbols shaped by the textures of his everyday New York experience. His construction of these dignified creatures sometimes includes a tamer or rider. In the painting Horse Tamer, for instance, the figure leading the horse into brilliance is rendered with Singh’s characteristic sweeping brush strokes. Even through vigorous abstraction, the sense of the sublime remains intact.
