HORSE CAFE

  68,5  x  93   cm

acrylic on canvas

2002

This was meant to become a present

 for Yasmin Muntaz, a presenter in Indonesian private

TV Station TransTV. When this painting was nearly finished, a news appeared in the media that Jimmy Carter has been chosen as the winner of Nobel Prize for Peace of 2002.

Whereas his last name is Carter, that similar to "cart", a word that is close to horse.

In the Grammy Award 2003, Norah Jones obtain some significant awards for her and her team nice works. If you take a closer look to the above painting, it is about some horses licking the water, that could remind you to the logo of mouth and tongue used by Rolling Stones. And one of their songs was "Angie", that sounds like "N.J.", just like the initial of Norah Jones.

Moreover, the producer of Norah Jones' album, who also become the producer of the year in 2003 Grammy, is 

Arief Mardin, with the initial of  A.M. just like the painter's fist name.
