Alan Davie – Birds Idea of a Horse

"Birds Idea of a Horse" by Alan Davie is a fascinating example of the artist’s signature approach to abstract expressionism. Known for his exploration of mythology, spirituality, and primal symbolism, Davie often incorporated organic forms and dynamic brushwork into his work, and this piece is no exception.

In "Birds Idea of a Horse," Davie merges the animal world with his intuitive sense of abstraction, combining bird-like imagery with hints of equine forms. The juxtaposition of these two creatures might symbolize the connection between flight and grounded strength, or perhaps the relationship between freedom and control. Through bold colors and vivid compositions, the artist invites the viewer to explore themes of transformation, nature, and interconnectedness.

As with many of Davie’s works, this piece reflects his mastery of abstract representation, offering a unique blend of visual complexity and emotional depth.
