Horse Whispers by Johny Dar

You see face painting at the fairs and other events but what about horse painting? Artist Johny Dar decided to apply his unique style of hand-painted body art to horses. This is a video shot in Dubai capturing the process and transformation. The series was created with ‘Bader’ – an Arabian stallion who was photographed in 12 different looks constructed under Dar’s creative direction. During the making of this remarkable series, both Dar and Bader discovered a new and extraordinary form of relationship between horse and human, as Bader learned to cooperate with Dar and the process of being painted, showing incredible calmness and poise and growing increasingly comfortable with every intimate moment, including having his face painted.
