Collage from The Monumental Work on Leonardo da Vinci
Emil Vollmer Verlag, 4th edition 1955
"I 94 - Jumping horse" by Uli Lächelt is a captivating painting that merges dynamic line work with a textured collage background. The piece features an energetic depiction of a horse in mid-leap, rendered through fluid, multicolored lines that convey movement and vitality. The layered backdrop, composed of vintage sketches and text fragments, adds depth and historical resonance, creating a dialogue between past and present artistic expressions. Lächelt’s use of contrasting elements—the spontaneous, almost abstract lines against the structured, aged paper—invites viewers to explore themes of motion, memory, and artistic interpretation. This painting stands as a compelling example of contemporary art’s ability to blend narrative and abstraction seamlessly.
