Equine Art

The Grand National is coming up this Saturday and here at Cube Fine art we've got racing fever! With horses, odds and bets on the mind we thought it apt to discuss horse related art in our latest blog.

Horses are the epitome of strength and grace and are fitting subjects of artist’s work. They have long provided inspiration for artists such as Munnings and George Stubbs who are perhaps England’s most famous painters where horses are usually their subject of choice; but more recently the Turner prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger has unveiled his latest work, a life-sized marble and resin racehorse sculpture, at the Mall in London.

Amusingly we even found news where horses themselves pick up the paintbrush to create artworks! With dedicated websites and forums about the art of horse painting and even a horse that has sold its artworks for small fortunes!

That’s enough horsing around... When it comes to art storage, packing and shipping remember Cube Fine Arts, whether it’s a sculpture or a sketch we have the facilities to ensure your art is cared for and protected. Get in contact today to find out more.
