Year of the Horse

Original Art by Nicole Grosjean

In the Lunar New Year cycle, the year of the horse focuses on action and positive change. This year the accompanying element is fire, indicating that it is time for big changes and bold action. This piece depicts the horse in stride, ready to move forward, surrounded by fiery red silk and laser cut bamboo veneer surround. The horse is cast paper in a mold of my own design, and painted with granulating watercolors that shift red and pale teal. I wanted the piece to look like an ancient artifact framed and displayed with pride. The piece is finished in a black faux bamboo frame with antiglare museum glass. I sincerely hope this year brings positive changes, and that this horse will bring you luck!

About the Artist

Nicole Grosjean

Nicole Grosjean graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado in 2008. She combines her passions for fantasy and craftsmanship into unique, multi-layered works of art. To her, there is nothing more valuable than an object an artist has created with their own hands. She endeavors to build pieces that are not only illustrations, but wonderfully complex environments in their own right. Nicole is constantly trying new techniques and pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums to bring her visions to life. Her sculptural illustrations are patterned from detailed drawings, hand-cut, and then layered to create various depths depending on the size of the piece. The layers are then painted in watercolor and gouache, and are often back lit with LED lights.
