Steven Chandler (American, b. 1968) Traylor Horse Oil and Georgia red mud on panel 19-1/2 x 23 inches (49.5 x 58.4 cm) Signed and titled on the reverse: Traylor Horse / Steven Chandler Property from the Brill Collection PROVENANCE: The artist; Acquired by the present owner from the above, 2005. This early wood cutout presents a rare form by Chandler, one of only two horse figures, the other comprised of solid red mud. Of this shape, Chandler says, “This horse was an homage series of sorts and brings back good memories of a time when southern folk art was fresh and new and a bit corny to me, in a good way.” We wish to thank Steven Chandler for his assistance in cataloguing this work.

Presents well. Some scattered minor surface abrasions and areas of faint cracking, the latter particularly affecting areas of thickest media application. A whiteish cast appears intermittently across the work. This lot is offered unframed.
Please note that outsider artists often incorporate discarded or salvaged materials into their work, and often stored and displayed works in at-home outdoor sculpture gardens. This lot may exhibit condition issues associated with those practices including, but not limited to, surface soiling, abrasions, creases, holes, and tears, which is part of the charm of outsider art.
