Alex Colville's Horse and Train Framed Print

Alex Colville's most famous and iconic composition, Colville employs perhaps his most extreme and confrontational nature vs. machine binary. The train and the horse both speed toward one another, frozen in anticipation and tension. The painting reflects Colville’s interest in existential thought: the horse appears to be alone and fearless rebel against the large mass of machinery which charges toward it. The horse and the train become symbolic opposites of one another hurling toward confrontation – the machinery of industrial progress and the wilderness of natural individualism are put at visual and intellectual odds.
