Colin Coots (b. 1944) is a celebrated equestrian artist known for his evocative paintings that beautifully capture rural life and the bond between humans and animals. Raised on a farm in Western New York State, he developed a deep affinity with the countryside, which later became a defining theme in his work.
In 1968, Coots graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio. Following his studies, he spent time as a VISTA volunteer in an Alaskan Eskimo village before pursuing a diverse career, including roles as an art teacher, farm labourer, tree surgeon, and museum preparator. Despite these various occupations, his passion for art remained constant, and he continued to paint and sculpt throughout.
In 1986, he transitioned to a full-time career as a painter after leaving the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester, New York. Since then, he has undertaken numerous educational projects, given art demonstrations, and exhibited his work widely. His paintings are now held in private collections both in the United States and internationally.
Coots’ artistic style is spontaneous and expressive, focusing on the essence of his subjects rather than meticulous detail. His work predominantly features horses, dogs, and landscapes, reflecting his deep connection to the countryside. He describes his approach as an attempt to “compress time and space,” creating striking yet simple images that resonate with viewers.
Through his distinctive style and deep understanding of rural life, Colin Coots has established himself as a distinguished equestrian artist, capturing the timeless beauty of the equestrian world with warmth and sensitivity.

Style : After graduating from the Government College of Art and Crafts, Calcutta in 1955 Pyne began to move away from the tenets of both classical Indian and Western art to respond to the beckoning of his own artistic impulses. Landscapes fascinated him initially. But along with the world of nature and flora emerged his own reconstructed images of fauna that often signified as metaphors of human passion and energy, and his paean to the elemental magic of women. This transition may have risen from his penchant for human psychology and observing the intricacies of human behavior.
In the case of Pyne too, his artistic vision does not adhere to logic because he does not see with his eyes but rather through his subconscious mind -- in an act of surrender to the liberty of his dreamy vision -- with little control over the wanton caprice of his depictions. So, in this distinctive vein, he is perhaps the most seminal surrealist of the contemporary Indian art.
