Caballo Brillante

(Brilliant Horse)

Artist: Roger Montoya

Hispanic artist Roger Montoya is a nationally recognized renaissance figure, as well known for his dance performances as he is for his landscape paintings. He served as Artistic Director of this Pony, assembling a team of some 50 people, ranging in age from 5 to 81, from a New Mexico village. First, they trooped out to local riverbeds and dumps that had not been used for twenty years to gather glass bottles and ceramic jugs. Under his direction, the materials were smashed, collected and applied to the surface of the Painted Pony, forming a kaleidoscopic mosaic surface that has to be seen to be believed. As if that were not enough, the original "Caballo Brilliante" rotates on a solar-powered turning device that captivates viewers with a reflective dance of color and light.

Made of solid resin. Measures approx. 15cm high.
