About the Item

Brown Horse Size: 18 x 33 cm (including frame) Oil on panel A small and engaging animal composition , painted in a naïve style in oil onto panel, by British artist Matt Rix. This painting features a stylised brown horse standing on a sandy or beige ground against a pale, textured background that resembles a lightly clouded sky. The horse is depicted in a folk art style, characterized by its simplified form and solid color blocking. The horse’s posture is calm and slightly alert, with its head turned slightly forward, ears upright, and tail gently curled. Its proportions are subtly exaggerated, with long slender legs and a rounded torso, giving the figure a charming, slightly naive appearance. The detail is minimal, focusing on clean lines and smooth shading to define the horse’s shape. The background is intentionally sparse, with no landscape or objects, placing full emphasis on the horse itself. British artist Matt Rix spent his childhood in South Africa and now lives with his family on a small holding in rural North Wales. His paintings are uncomplicated, modernist representations influenced by primitive and naïve folk art from times past. Many of the subjects Rix paints are inspired by the animals he sees from day to day. Rix uses recycled materials including discarded paints, boards, frames and backing paper. Much of his work is therefore produced using waste materials resulting in sustainable paintings that evoke a time-worn, nostalgic essence.
