Inside Equine Art
Inside Equine Art presents curatorial insights by Joyce Ter Horst, curator and founder of Paard Verzameld.
When the subject already carries emotion: Emotion and responsibility in equine art
Emotion is deeply embedded within equine art, where horses often carry memory, attachment, and personal meaning long before the artwork begins. This essay reflects on emotional depth, artistic responsibility, and the difference between sentiment and resonance in equine art.
When the comfort zone becomes a cage: Artistic development in equine art
Many equine artists reach a stage where the work functions professionally, yet internally something begins to feel restrictive. This essay reflects on artistic development, creative risk, and the challenge of moving beyond what already works.
The Zorn palette. Painting structure and what happens when you remove most of the options.
The Zorn palette is often seen as a limitation of four colours. This essay explores how it functions instead as a filter for decision-making, revealing structure, direction, and what holds a body of work together.
Building a body of work in equine art: When investigation continues.
A body of work in equine art does not form through repetition. It develops through sustained inquiry, layered thinking and the courage to go further.
The evolving equestrian world and contemporary equine art curation
The equestrian world is shifting, and so is equine art. How do exhibitions reflect this evolution? Is curation keeping up with the change?
