Hubert De Watrigant
13th – 30th November

Hubert de Watrigant is widely
regarded as a world leader in racing
and equestrian art. He is an artist of
truly outstanding talent and a legend
amongst international horse painters.
Hubert comes from a distinguished
racing family, and his early passion
studying horses in his father’s stables
developed into a lifelong obsession.
Each painting speaks of de Watrigant’s
deep appreciation and knowledge of
his métier, and yet they are fearless,
passionate and unexpected. Oil, gouache, watercolour and ink help him
to create contemporary compositions and depict instinctive moments.
‘I don’t focus on the main event and principle actions, I prefer to linger
on details. I am more interested in the jockey adjusting a stirrup or the
lad waiting for his horse.’ In this respect there are distinct similarities
with both Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec.’

Hubert is back in London
this November with what
will only be another
fascinating exhibition that
will display his unique
ability to manipulate
form and colour, not to
mention unconventional
materials, to create truly
exciting, dynamic works
of art.
