Animals
Oil on Canvas
55 x 65 Framed cms
Framed
This original painting titled Capaillín na Gaoithe (Pony of the Wind) likely evokes a sense of freedom, movement, and untamed spirit.
artist is influenced by a series of Polynesian skulls famous artist Louis Le Brocquy encountered at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. His work explores themes of identity, memory, and the spirit within, often portraying heads as emerging from or dissolving into their surroundings.
Artist Bairbre Higgins painting of Capaillín na Gaoithe draws from this style, the horse’s head is not a conventional portrait but rather an ethereal, almost spectral presence. The mane blends into the background, much like le Brocquy’s heads, creating a sense of movement and mystery. The painting emphasizes texture and translucency, giving the impression that the horse is both present and dissolving into the wind itself.
