painted horse































The painted horse. The story could begin and finish in this sentence. But it would be fair. Firstly, because the horse is richer than it seems. Start by being a part of collection of João Carlos Abreu, who for decades was the top official at the tourism in Madeira island.
And,a little because of its position, and whether he are a man of culture, traveled and have a special passion for horses, decided one day to create a museum with what was gathered over the years.
Put their memories in a emblematic "quinta" (hsitoric house) of the city.
In addition to horses and many other things there also placed a number of different ties, his other passion, which also joins the writing and poetry.
The exhibition space called the Universe of Memories of João Carlos Abreu.
For this horse, since there is a long time. Initially with only a color, gained visibility when several different artists put their creativity on the animal's body. The result is what you see.

O cavalo pintado. A história podia começar e acabar nesta frase. Mas não seria justo. Em primeiro lugar porque o cavalo é mais rico do que parece. Começa por ser um peça de colecção de João Carlos Abreu, que, durante décadas foi o responsável máximo pelo Turismo da ilha da Madeira.
Depois, um pouco devido à sua posição, e ao facto de ser um homem da cultura, viajado e ter uma paixão especial por cavalos, decidiu um dia criar um museu com parte do que foi reunindo ao longo dos anos.
Colocou as suas recordações numa quinta emblemática da cidade. Além de cavalos e muitas outras coisas também ali colocou um sem número de diferentes gravatas, a sua outra paixão, à qual se junta também a escrita e a poesia.
O espaço museológico chama-se Universo de Memórias de João Carlos Abreu.
Em relação a este cavalo, já ali está há muito. Inicialmente de uma cor, ganhou uma visibilidade diferente quando vários artistas plásticos colocaram a sua criatividade no corpo do animal. O resultado é o que se vê.

  1. I remeber seing cows painted this way, in London and Paris. They were part of a travelling exhibition going around the world. Artist in these cities were given 'blank' cows and were asked to paint them. Was extremely nice. And they looked pretty exactly like this horse.

  2. I have also seen some of the painted cows...... But this is new creativity, and I guess the owner is also an artistic soul.
