Le duel 2014

Carlos Sablòn's 2014 painting "Le duel" presents a white horse rearing on its hind legs against a backdrop of rolling hills and a bright blue sky. The horse is depicted with an intricate tattoo on its hind leg, symbolizing the fusion of nature and human artifice. The presence of a coiled serpent in the foreground, its head raised in a defensive posture, adds a layer of tension and alludes to the inevitable conflict between forces of good and evil. This striking composition exemplifies Sablòn's signature style, blending realism with symbolic imagery to explore themes of duality and confrontation.
