"Stallions" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6" x 6"; (c) Amy Guidry 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve recently added a new painting to my In Our Veins<\/em> series.\u00a0 The title is Stallions<\/em> and it is a 6″ x 6,” acrylic on canvas.\u00a0 There are several paintings in this series which feature animals, but as heads without bodies, for example.\u00a0 Because the series pertains to our complex and intricate life cycle, this must also address the issue of animal welfare, as one cannot exist without the other (i.e. humans and the natural world).\u00a0 Many people view animals as a means to an end, therefore they are viewed as pieces and parts- head, rump, tongue, breast, wing, leg- not whole, sentient beings.\u00a0 I illustrate this concept while at the same time endowing each animal with emotion and personality, emphasizing qualities that we often deem as only “human.”\u00a0 Given that horses are such intelligent and majestic animals, I couldn’t think of a better subject.\u00a0 You can view a larger image of the painting on my website at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com\/stallions.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
