The Breeders’ Cup recently named Daniel Dawson as the official artist for the 2016 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. With a multi-media piece rich in color and texture, Dawson captures the exciting atmosphere and history of the racetrack to commemorate the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California this November 4-5. Dawson truly brings to life a day at the track through this bold collage of iconic racing scenes and elements. As a Throughbred and jockey race through the Breeders’ Cup logo, a smiling woman sports her raceday hat, and the colors of jockey silks pull the whole piece together, Dawson touches on fashion, tradition, and the thrill of the race.
Dawson’s unique style allows the passion of the championships to shine through and builds the excitement for this prestigious global event. More of Dawson’s work may be viewed here, and stay up to date with all things Breeders’ Cup here.
The horse inspiring artists … fantastic!
