The artist LeRoy Neiman, known for his energetic images of top-level sporting events, has created the official image of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Neiman’s painting features each of the eight equestrian sports that will be a part of the 2010 event in Lexington, KY.

The painting will initially be stored and displayed at the International Museum of the Horse at Lexington’s Kentucky Horse Park. Louisville, KY,-based Cobalt Artworks hopes to present an exhibition featuring Neiman’s equestrian works in downtown Lexington during the 2010 Games.

Neiman has created artwork for such illustrious sporting events as the Kentucky Derby, the Ryder Cup, and the Super Bowl, so the 2010 WEG is in fine company.

Signed commemorative editions, prints, note cards, and postcards featuring the artwork are available from Cobalt Artworks. I’m a sucker for bright colors and I like Neiman’s relaxed style, so I have a feeling one of his prints will be gracing my office wall before the WEG has come and gone
