Artist, Japanese, 1927 - 2014

The image depicts an abstract composition of bold, gestural lines forming two horse-like shapes facing each other. The outlines are black, while intersecting golden-orange lines create a grid-like pattern as a backdrop. The horses have a lightweight, sketched quality, with darker shading suggesting musculature. The shapes evoke the lean forms of horses with elongated necks and poised heads. The central portion includes abstract patterns reminiscent of a mane or decorative markings. The combination of the golden grid and fluid silhouettes creates a juxtaposition resembling a chess board with equine pieces.
