Horses In Stripes by City Art Collage-Vintage The finish holds every nuanceHorses in Stripes is a minimal, geometric illustration by City Art that distils the energy of horses into bold, rhythmic stripe patterns. The composition balances organic movement with graphic precision, using a restrained palette to evoke both power and grace.
