A Day at the Races (Yellow) (2011)Oil painting by Alexander Levich

Alexander Levich’s The Day at the Races (Yellow) captures the explosive power and heat of a galloping charge in a moment of electrifying intensity. Four horses with riders thunder straight toward the viewer, their forms stretched and blurred by speed. Levich’s expressive brushwork and sun-drenched palette – saffron, ochre, gold – convey not just movement, but the feeling of velocity itself.

This panoramic canvas is part of Levich’s ongoing exploration of equine motion through color. Unlike cooler-toned variants in the series, this yellow version immerses the viewer in light and force, translating the sensory overload of a race into a visual event. Hooves scatter flecks of white and amber across the canvas. The riders, abstracted yet poised, appear suspended between control and chaos.

Levich’s ability to blend realism and abstraction gives the work a visceral authenticity, while allowing for emotional and psychological interpretation. The Day at the Races (Yellow) is ideal for collectors who appreciate dynamic compositions, equestrian themes, or contemporary art rooted in movement and energy.
