The Blank Signature

 I've always been intrigued by Magritte's painting 'The Blank Signature' with it's horse and rider being split up in a curious way by the forest.

I made a drawing of it to try and understand how it worked (which you can see on my latest Instagram and Facebook posts) as I want to use the idea to present the fleeing animals in my current painting 'Dreamtime'. 

Sometimes the bodies are shown in the spaces between the verticals and sometimes they overlay them. In my picture, I hope it will give a feeling of movement and also enhance the dreamlike quality. We shall see.
