Description
Wilson D’ Souza | Untitled | Acrylic on Canvas | 60 x 84 inches | 2025
This dynamic painting by Wilson D’ Souza captures the raw vitality and muscular grace of galloping horses through a bold, gestural language. Rendered in sweeping, angular brushstrokes, the composition dissolves literal form into rhythm and movement, allowing the viewer to feel the thunderous momentum rather than simply observe it. Earthy browns and warm ochres anchor the bodies of the horses, while flashes of white, steel grey, and electric blue carve out their contours, creating dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The fractured planes and overlapping forms suggest speed, tension, and unity—multiple bodies moving as one force. D’ Souza’s expressive handling of acrylic paint gives the surface a tactile energy, where each stroke feels instinctive and immediate. The painting balances abstraction with recognisable imagery, evoking themes of freedom, power, and unrestrained motion, making it both visually arresting and emotionally charged.
