Contenders - Canvas Print

Two thoroughbreds thunder straight toward the viewer, neck and neck, their jockeys hunched low in a tight sprint for the lead. Thick palette knife strokes build up chestnut and burnt sienna muscle, flying mud, and bursts of cobalt, red, and violet in the racing silks against a soft cream backdrop. Contenders captures the raw speed and grit of the track, a jolt of adrenaline for a home gym, den, or office. Leonid Afremov's wall art brings competitive energy and bold color to any space that could use a little momentum.
