About the Item

“Lustre” by Catherine Ingleby is a captivating original wildlife painting that immerses viewers in the poignant beauty of a horse’s quiet contemplation. Painted in oil on canvas, this impressionist work showcases the right side of a horse’s upper body, from neck to head, with the animal’s head drooping in a soft, sorrowful gesture. The delicate rendering of the horse’s form is both tender and expressive, inviting viewers to share in its moment of introspection. The color scheme of “Lustre” is a vibrant yet harmonious blend of oranges, purples, and yellows. These hues interplay to create a rich, atmospheric backdrop that enhances the emotional depth of the scene. The warm oranges and yellows convey a sense of warmth and light, while the deep purples introduce a layer of melancholy, perfectly capturing the complex emotions of the subject. This careful use of color not only adds visual interest but also deepens the narrative quality of the painting. Catherine Ingleby’s impressionist style shines through in the fluid brushstrokes and textured surface of the canvas. Each stroke is deliberate, adding to the overall sense of movement and life within the piece. The artist’s ability to convey emotion through impressionistic techniques is evident in the horse’s drooping posture and the gentle play of light and shadow across its body. The painting’s surface is alive with energy, drawing viewers in and encouraging them to explore the layers of emotion embedded in the scene. Signed by the artist and ready to be displayed, “Lustre” is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. This piece offers art enthusiasts and collectors a unique opportunity to own a work that combines technical mastery with profound emotional resonance. “Lustre” stands as a testament to Catherine Ingleby’s ability to capture the essence of wildlife with sensitivity and grace, making it a cherished addition to any art collection. Artist biography: Catherine Ingleby is a renowned wildlife and equine artist based in Berkshire. Her work, with its distinctive use of vivid colour and sense of movement, bridges both the contemporary and traditional. Catherine’s ability to capture the essence of character in both her large scale paintings, and intimate portraits, has lead to her art being collected worldwide, with works in the collections of HM The Queen and many prominent racing stables. Born in Aberdeenshire, Catherine grew up surrounded by horses, resulting in a lifelong passion and admiration for these animals. After a foundation art year in Paris Catherine returned to the UK to do a BaHons in Philosophy and Classics at Durham University. However after graduating, she decided to focus on her art and to that end moved to Italy to study in an atelier in Florence. Since then Catherine has been based between London and Italy, although a considerable amount of time is spent travelling in Europe and the States completing commissioned work. Catherine enjoys painting a wide variety of horses – from the coarsest gypsy ponies to the sleekest of showjumpers. She also loves to try and capture the movement of horses within their world, and has had the chance to study a diverse range of subjects from racehorses at Epsom to the Queen’s stalking ponies at Balmoral. I love to paint animals, always have, and feel very privileged that I now make my living from doing so. In my current phase of work, I aim to explore the movement of animals and develop a distinctive use of colour and brushwork. There is a very simple joy in the observation of animals, in their uncomplicated joy of small things, or their unconscious beauty. I aim to explore this in my work, from the light-hearted pieces of jumping dogs to the more traditional works portraying the majesty of the big cats. I try in my art, to lift the viewer’s heart a little, and I hope to make work that is accessible to all and to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary. I am obsessed with colour in my work, echoing the colours and patterns of the animal I have chosen to paint in bolder combinations in the background. I find the intensity of patch of pure pigment, cadmium orange next to deep purple in a tiger’s coat, for example, is far more interesting than a faithfully lifelike representation of colour.
