The new show will open on the eve of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games and rotate new pieces the first of November for the 2010 Breeders Cup weekend.
A special opening night, Meet the Artist reception is planned for Friday, September 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The reception is free to the public, and will feature mini hot browns, wine and cheese.
“My new series of equine paintings and studies is inspired by the idea of The Mythical Horse,” explains the artist, Jaime Corum. “I grew up steeped in the great horse mythology of The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, Flame, Thunderbolt, Phar-Lap, and King of the Wind. Then and now, horses hold such symbolic power for me. It seems only a small step to give to them the names and attributes of mythological characters. With unabashed romanticism The Mythical Horse portrays the horse as ideal, symbol, mystery and saint.”
Gallery at The Brown is an exciting venue showcasing the work of top Kentucky artists. The ever-changing gallery located in the Shop at The Brown is a wonderful place to find truly unique artwork and gifts. Guest services include personal shopping and shipping.
