Tom French Cowboy Balance 2011 Sold Out Signed XX/25 Edition Urban Art

  
I'm a big Tom French fan and have many pieces of his work but unfortunately don't have enough wall space for this currently. If you need any more photos or have any questions please ask. Here's what Tom French had to say about the piece when it was released. As for the thinking behind the different styles for the cowboys and animals, there was a few different things going on with this, here's a couple.

On an aesthetic level it exaggerates the power/control struggle that's going on here, it (hopefully) emphasises the innocence, beauty and power and of the animal, at the same time reflects the bold, brash and seemingly careless attitude of the rodeo rider. And as for the horse seeming'lifted' off the ground, it has just been caught mid-buck, a tiny moment of calm, perfectly balanced, in the middle of the action, before they both drop back to the ground and continue. I guess I also wanted to put the focus on the animal rather than the rider too, just tip the balance a little. Of course, this series isn't just about cowboys or animals, its more a small thought on the fun us folk find in trying to control and own things of natural power and beauty, the perils/dangers of doing so, the boisterous & clumsy attitude we take to it, and the thrill of the ride.
