Established contemporary artist, Lottie
Cole, launched her new collection of
equestrian-inspired work at an exclusive
private viewing in Chelsea, London
last night, in front of a distinguished
crowd covering the entire equestrian
spectrum.
Hosted by Quintessentially Equestrian
and supported by Cricket Fine Art, the
Collection entitled ‘Living with The Tetrarch
And Other Horses’ A Celebration
reveals Cole’s vision of “imagined interiors
of art collectors” and reflects her
abiding love of horses. Inspired by the
artist’s vision of equestrian’s abodes,
the work explores the homes of leading
jockeys, champion trainers and owners,
amongst others.
Subtle nods towards their lifestyle
choices and inner equestrian passion
are explored throughout the new body
of work.
In one painting ‘Interior with Elisabeth
Frink and Alton Barnes Chalk Horse’,
Cole features an Elisabeth Frink Horse
sculpture;
“I imagined it to be the cottage of a
retired jockey or stud groom. The Frink
Horse was a purchase with a big betting
win.” The artist explains.
Other pieces have clever racing connotations
weaved within; a patchwork
antique chair akin to jockey silks appears
in one painting, and a country
cottage bedroom scene pays homage
to the renowned English sculptor and
painter Adrian Jones with his painting
of the Irish-bred stallion ‘The Tetrarch’
depicted as a piece of art on the wall.
The artist also created a piece for the
Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund which
she presented to the charity on the
night. The watercolour original has
been donated to help raise funds for
the only UK Charity which focuses on
helping those injured in horse-related
accidents & their families. The art will
be auctioned at one of the Charity’s
forthcoming autumn events.
