Even the linen in here starts looking expensive next to warm brown. That’s what this horse does to a room it pulls every soft, natural material around it into focus. Hang it and the wall stops being background. The thick brushwork gives the grey sky real texture, so the piece holds up close as well as from across the room. It works above a console in a hallway, on a study wall behind a desk, or in a living room with painted panelling. Pair it with aged leather, tweed or checked fabric, wool rugs and stoneware lamps. Don’t crowd it with bright graphic prints or neon colour this one wants calm neighbours and a bit of breathing space. On canvas the raised brushwork reads like an original oil on the wall.
