About the Item
A dynamic oil painting depicting a high energy horse race with abstract details and bursts of energy showcased with use of fast brush work and thick impasto oil paint. Jockeys, wearing colorful helmets and riding horses, are captured mid-gallop, kicking up splashes of dust as they race along a track. The horses are rendered in rich brown tones, with the jockeys' helmets in vibrant shades of yellow, red, green, white, and blue, adding a lively contrast. Done in a highly impressionistic manner with unique colors and expressions, the use of bright colors and quick brush strokes create this equestrian scene both dynamically and masterfully. How the artist captures this moment feels as if the viewer is there at the race, feeling the pulse and heart beat of the thrill come to life through the canvas. This painting is signed by the artist lower left and it comes housed in a museum quality gold tone plein air wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.

Frame measures 32 x 29 inches
Cindy Shaoul, born in 1987 in New York City, is a third-generation American visual artist renowned for her vibrant, impressionistic works that blend classical techniques with contemporary whimsy. Growing up in a Hungarian-Persian family with a deep artistic lineage—her mother and grandfather both painters—she was immersed in the creative process from an early age, often watching her mother paint and experimenting with her first canvas as a child.
Shaoul's formal artistic journey began abroad, where she spent two years studying at the Budai Art Institute in Hungary and traveling to Israel. These experiences profoundly shaped her, infusing her work with cultural depth and a sense of global movement. Upon returning to New York, she honed her skills at the prestigious Art Students League, studying under masters of impressionism such as Joseph Peller, Gregg Kreutz, and Tom Torak. There, she mastered techniques for capturing fleeting street scenes and evocative portraits, drawing inspiration from luminaries like Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edward Potthast. Her early passion for impressionistic urban vignettes and the human form laid the foundation for her signature style.
A pivotal turning point came when Shaoul collaborated with renowned street artist LA II (Angel Ortiz), known for his partnerships with Keith Haring in the 1980s. This encounter propelled her into New York's dynamic urban art scene, infusing her impressionism with graffiti's bold energy and street art's raw vitality. The result was a distinctive fusion: thick, textured oil paints, fast brushwork, and a playful abstraction that explores themes of femininity, memory, and city life. Shaoul describes her process as uninhibited and joyful, emphasizing the importance of movement and color to evoke emotion, much like filling in the "spaces" left by Renoir's brushstrokes.
Shaoul's oeuvre is characterized by series that dialogue between the figurative and abstract:
-Dripping Dots: Her breakthrough collection, featuring whimsical, colorful dots that evoke graffiti's spontaneity and impressionism's light play.
-Brides (2018–present): A celebration of the feminine form, inspired by French haute couture's drama and purity, balancing elegant figures with abstract flourishes.
-Hearts (My Heart Collection): Vibrant, energetic explorations of emotion through bold colors and textured oils.
Plein-Air Street Scenes: Quintessential New York vignettes, such as *Vesuvio Bakery* or *Girl with Balloons by the Park*, capturing the city's fleeting energy with impressionistic movement. Her works often depict iconic locales like Greenwich Village cafes or the historic Hollywood sign, infused with personal narrative and a sense of nostalgia.
Shaoul's professional debut was a group show at Parsons School of Design in 2009. Since then, her art has gained international acclaim, exhibited from Italy and South Korea to major U.S. art fairs in Miami, Palm Beach, Dallas, and New York. She has held numerous solo shows and attracted celebrity collectors, including Emma Roberts, Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Catherine Deneuve, and John Malkovich—some of whom have inspired portraits like *Emily in Paris – Lily Collins* (2020). Her pieces are available through platforms like Artsy, 1stDibs, and her own site, with works in oil on canvas or board commanding attention for their accessibility and emotional resonance.
Active in New York, Shaoul continues to evolve, experimenting with new techniques while nurturing her impressionistic roots. She views art as a democratic pursuit, often sharing insights on feeling "wild and free" at the canvas and encouraging beginners with simple daily practice. In interviews, she reflects on her pandemic-era reinventions, turning isolation into colorful homages to urban joy. Shaoul's work not only adorns galleries but also invites viewers to fill in life's incomplete strokes with their own stories—a testament to her enduring belief that "everyone’s an artist."
PROVENANCE: Estate of a Private collection New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
