Wild Horses by Will Armstrong

Wild Horses presents a study in gestural mark-making, where ink and watercolor operate in deliberate tension across paper. Armstrong's approach combines the permanence of ink—deployed in linear, defining strokes—with watercolor's characteristic diffusion and transparency. The work demonstrates a sustained interest in animal form rendered through economy of line and chromatic restraint. The medium choice itself becomes material content: where ink holds firm, watercolor bleeds and pools, creating zones of controlled accident alongside intentional gesture. The composition suggests movement through directional mark-making rather than representational detail, allowing the horses to emerge from the interplay of pigment and paper's surface.
