ARTIST STATEMENT
POLO SERIES OF PAINTINGS &
DRAWINGS
A few years ago multi media
artist William Rossoto was
introduced to the world of
Polo players by way of a
friend who wanted a film
created about his life in the
Polo world. While William
filmed numerous Polo events,
doing personal interviews with
the players, and traveling to
many Polo Ranches William
gained a keen interest in the
beauty and athleticism of the
horses and players. Considered
an elite sport by many people
and a world not easily
accessible, William found the
riders to be very humble,
kind, and open to
conversation.
When the idea of painting
Polo horses and players
manifested, William searched
for a fresh perspective to
express his love of horses,
the sport, and the players.
Mixing traditional and modern
elements, his paintings
express the strength,
athleticism, and beauty of the
players and the horses in
motion. His vibrant colors,
geometric elements, and use of
mixed media produces an
unusual fusion of figurative
and abstract ingredients
designed to give the viewer a
sense of the exhilaration and
power experienced by the Polo
players.
