Husidio John Tempest Oil Painting on Canvas "Millenium Horse (Green)"

Item Details

An oil painting on canvas titled Millennium Horse (Green) by listed American artist Husidio John Tempest (b. 1953), created in 2017. Portrayed with vibrant gradated greens and accents of red, this work features a twisting and swirling ribbon-like form representing a heavily abstracted simplification of a horse, suspended against a stark white background. The painting is signed to the lower right and to the verso. Handwriting to the verso also reads the title and date of the work.

Tempest comes from a long line of notable and successful artists, stemming from Antonio Tempesta, circa 1600, in Florence, Italy. His father Gerard Tempest (1918-2009) was a student of famed Italian Surrealist Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978). At the Art Students League, Tempest studied under artists John Howard Sanden (b. 1935) and Nelson Shanks (1937-2015). He maintained a close association with de Chirico and worked in his studio in Rome.
