An exhibition in progress

Gill Parker celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her first solo exhibition with a raft of new works at the Mall, continuing her award winning style accentuating the simplicity of form and elegance of her subjects.

Gill has gained a substantial international reputation for her uncompromising artistic standards in achieing exquisite anatomical correctness in her work, whilst allowing a strong sense of animation.

Julia Noble is renowned as an artist with the ability to deftly hold a moment open on canvas. Whether a compassionate narrative between man and horse or the explosive fury of the rodeo, we are present in the eye of the instant. Her work has a sureness of touch to distil movement into oil and give it life.

The history of the horse is a tale of civilisation, an epic odyssey of power and passion that charts the globe, a chronicle of a defining influence across countries, continents and cultures, all written on horseback.

Gill and Julia hope to make us look once again at the horse as an intrinsic part of our cultural history. To appreciate the aesthetics of the horse, but in addition see beyond the contemporary view and wonder at the mystery of an artistic and emotional legacy that began during the last ice age.

We began by painting the horse on cavern walls thousands of feet underground, and went on to carve them into hillsides and lovingly in bronze and terra-cotta. We continue to glorify the horse, and though the day to day reliance for most of us has disappeared, the horse continues to represent a potent cultural symbol the world over.
It’s difficult to imagine how the world would be shaped today without the horse, once present in almost every element of the civilising of mankind.
