Here, it appears beneath a festive arch that recalls the village celebrations, popular decoration and communal rituals of his youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work reveals the continuity within ESPIGA Pinto’s \u003cem\u003eoevre\u003c\/em\u003e: rural memory is not left behind, but translated into a more synthetic visual language of circular movement, layered colour and geometric order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis impression is one of only twenty artist’s proofs, numbered VI\/XX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: ESPIGA Pinto\u003cbr\u003eTitle: \u003cem\u003eHorse with Festive Arch (Cavalo com Arco Festivo)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1995\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Silkscreen on paper\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 69 x 50 cm\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Artist's proof 6 of 20 \u003cbr\u003eInscription: P.A.
