“With this project Kepa aims to create a visual journey through the history of the equestrian portrait, from ancient Greece to the present day. To do this he made modified versions of some of the most representative works of art within this genre, but making substantial changes in each of them: The elimination of the horseman. These versions will be very similar in both technique and scale to the originals, except for the fact that in all of them the main character, the portrayed, is missing. With this project he wants to reflect on power, its codes of representation and their permanence throughout history. These modified portraits have the vocation of perverting the original function of the original, thus turning the original propaganda images into altered versions where everything acquires a new meaning.”
