About the Work
In his studies of war monuments and their glorifications of violence, Angelbert Metoyer was especially drawn to the plight of horses. Throughout history horses have been exploited and sacrificed for mans' violent purposes. Hoping to promote peace through his work, Metoyer says, "These creations are intended to spread holy love to you, through you and to others across our planet into the universe."
About the Artist
Angelbert Metoyer’s work explores what he calls the “hidden language of religion.” A painter, sculptor, performance, video and sound artist, he is interested in ancestral memory and what it means to be human. He is fascinated with time, memory, symbolism, quantum physics, and cosmology and considers his art to be a personal vision quest and an investigation into the human experience.
Metoyer’s paintings are full of information—words, numbers, squiggles, cross-outs—yet their effect is serene and cosmic. His childlike drawing style is reminiscent of religious folk art, lending the works a simple spirituality. Above all, Metoyer's art hopes to promote peace and understanding through a common visual language that crosses cultural, racial, and social barriers.
