About
In perhaps his 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.

Horse and Train
by: Alex Colville
We Offer High Quality
Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
