Page 8 - OSG: Impressions of the Turf 2023

Lara Robinson

"Horse racing’s magic touches so many people, it has been my focus to
capture this passion, glory, and the love for the sport in my works.

That natural amphitheatre at Ascot is the scene of so much excitement,
so many lung busting, heart pumping moments and so many never
to be forgotten races that it has been great fun trying to pick these
moments, trying to render their magic in art."

Lara Robinson is a classically trained contemporary artist
based between London, Wiltshire and Cornwall. Having grown
up amongst the beaches of Cornwall and the rolling hills of
the countryside, Lara’s training in Florence and Barcelona
means her style crosses classical training with a more individual
impressionism, and imbues her work with a real sense of
vibrancy and life.
Having put on three stellar shows in London in November 2020,
September 2022, and a collaboration show with Boodles on Bond
Street, as well as exhibiting in joint exhibitions at various leading
galleries such as the Mall Galleries, Lara has now produced a
small collection for Impressions of the Turf! This group of
paintings encapsulate the love and atmosphere of the turf.
Taking inspiration from moments of this sport, where life is
at its most vibrant, along with racegoers enjoying every second,
her work offers an enthralling glimpse into these fleeting flashes
of wonder and passion.
