Description:
Dream as a Horse by Tongfa Li presents a rich visual narrative in oil on paper, evoking the fluidity and symbolism of dreams. The artist explores the concept of freedom and movement, with the imagery suggesting a sense of release or escape, symbolized by the powerful figure of a horse. The horse, often a representation of vitality and strength, in this context is entwined with the notion of dreams, suggesting both the boundless potential and the unpredictability of the subconscious.

The vibrant brushstrokes and subtle layering of oil paint create depth and energy, inviting the viewer into a dreamlike state that is both contemplative and stirring. The artist’s choice of medium and unframed presentation emphasizes the raw, uncontained nature of the dream world and the untamed spirit of the horse.

Tongfa Li’s mastery of color and texture comes through in this work, with carefully chosen tones that reflect a delicate balance between intensity and serenity. The work leaves space for personal interpretation, with the horse perhaps symbolizing an unbridled pursuit of one's inner desires or the journey through one's unconscious mind.
