Enrico Pambianchi, War machine, mixed media on canvas, 44,3x42,7 cm, 2013

In this work is perfectly clear the strength and sarcastic hyper-real work of Pambianchi. Here the author recreates the image of the white Andalusian horse even before Isabella. Pambianchi captures the homage to Velazquez trought the strong Andalusian horses, special breed created by the Spanish cavalry. These horses, much loved by the Spanish painter who used them as a throne travel to Isabella, are considered a real "war machines" for strength and courage expressed in the fighting. So imagine Pambianchi redeem permanently, through a toll, the will of the court painter instead had to conceal his love for those animals, under clothes and celebrity real woman. The white horse powerful neck, spitting blood from his eyes, is ridden by a female figure with a head of a jaguar god and voluminous dress similar to a fine Samurai Hakama (skirt of Kimono). A giant Smith & Wesson revolver barrel dominates severed image magnifying, with modern words, the strength of the composition of the picture. Critical text I take care of Arch. Maurizio Bonizzi
