Lisa Blaauwbroek (1990) and Cedric ter Bals (1990) recently began a correspondence in which they saw dancing on the edge of the volcano and the force of rolling waves as symbols of the artistic process. Relating to Mount Fuji and Hokusai’s famous wave, they began a series of drawings in which Japanese elements appear. The work Horse depicts the bottom half of a vigorous, proudly striding horse, an animal that keeps re-appearing in ter Bals current series. Precise dots shape and equally adorn the body of the horse, a nod to pointillist painting.
