Persian Horse Thief with Tulips

List price:

0.500Ξ ~ $1,091

Collage, acrylic on canvas and photography, 2026 A rider steals through the borderland between painting and photograph. The horse is black, the movement urgent. The tulips are real — cut, placed in a glass bowl, photographed in my Tbilisi studio before they could wilt. The tulip is not a Dutch flower. It came from the Persian and Ottoman steppe, traded and stolen long before it reached Amsterdam. So did the horse. So did most beautiful things. I painted the rider first. Then I placed the flowers in front of the canvas and took the photograph. The collage happened in the space between — where the flat world of paint meets the three-dimensional world of dying flowers. Tbilisi, 2026. Heiner Buhr is a Berlin-born expressionist painter based in Tbilisi, Georgia since 1996. His work moves between the Caucasus hinterland and Cyberspace — borderlands both.
