As with the other works in the series, the surface is shaped through a balanced meeting of approaches: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ethinly sliced shell pieces\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e define the grasses, contours, and smaller passages with controlled precision, while \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003elarger shell pieces\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e—kept close to their natural contour—give the horses their bodies, allowing each figure to carry a fuller sense of volume and lift. The result is a gentle relief that makes the movement feel immediate without becoming theatrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat distinguishes this work is the use of differently coloured shell passages to articulate the two animals. One horse appears in a paler, warmer tone, the other in a deeper brown, so the pair read not as repetition but as rhythm—two separate energies held within one composition. Their forward stride is echoed by the sweep of grass below and the small birds above, creating an image that feels open, quick, and alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn Korean visual culture, horse motifs are often associated with \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003evigour and purposeful movement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. Here, that symbolism is carried with restraint. The animals are dynamic, yet not wild; animated, yet composed. The panel suggests momentum guided by direction—strength that remains clear-headed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFramed in warm wood with a linen mount, the work changes with the day’s light. In lower light the horses settle into silhouette and form; under stronger light, the shell briefly opens—golden notes, bronzed tones, cooler flashes in the ground—before returning to shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth- 39cm (15.35 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth- 32cm (12.59 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight- 4.3cm (1.69 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-mother-of-pearl-art\"\u003eAbout Mother of Pearl Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mother of Pearls","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880588017895,"sku":null,"price":378.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/mother-of-pearl-art-panel-horse.jpg?v=1773722144","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/fr\/products\/mother-of-pearl-art-panel-pair-of-horses-motif-with-whole-shell-accents-horizontal-format","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
