Infinartum is pleased to announce its association with Lesley Thiel, whose most recent work is now available online. Lesley Thiel is a renowned Equestrian artist. Born in England, she studied at London University before moving to Europe and, later the United States. Whilst living in the United States Lesley discovered her love of horses when visiting a friend’s Arabian Stud, eventually coming to own one of the horses herself. Having relegated art to a hobby for many years, Lesley found herself drawn to the horse's individual personalities and distinctive nature and began to devote herself to capturing their distinctive charisma and power in paintings and drawings: “ The beauty of a horse in motion has the capacity to suspend time for the viewer. This is the magic they possess and to which so many of us are drawn” Upon her return to the UK, in 2003, and inspired by the sheer power and grace of these stunning animals, Lesley took up art as a full time career in order to concentrate on painting horses. Since that time Lesley has had works accepted for exhibitions at the Mall Galleries in London and Palace House in Newmarket. Her work has been published in Limited Edition and has been represented in Galleries throughout the country, generating an avid following of Collectors worldwide, including in the U.K., North America, and Europe. Working in Oils and Pastels, Lesley drew inspiration from artists, such as Ruebens and Bonheur, whose works conveyed the spirit, energy and strength of horses. With her use of delicate palettes and soft colour, Lesley offers the viewer the opportunity to experience for themselves the magnificent power, compassion and spirit combined with the natural beauty of her horses. With subtle colours and soft brush strokes Lesley allows her audience to feel the movement and touch of her chosen subject. “ Horses are such an amazing mixture of curves and planes. When they are in motion they have a fluid grace which is simply breathtaking. My passion is to capture and preserve those moments of sheer perfection when a horse expresses its remarkable spirit. Each horse I paint is an individual, and I consider my works to be portraits and not simply pictures of equines.” Lesley’s instinctive love of horses is translated seamlessly onto her canvas offsetting the freedom, beauty and vibrancy of the subject against the stark contrast of her subtle backgrounds, allowing the viewer to experience the movement and flex of muscle, while her delicate brush work flows with the horse's mane, capturing the sheen of the body and creating the graceful movement of the subject. She finds the perfection of form of these beautiful creatures inspirational. Her intimate knowledge of the anatomy of the horse, the way each individual moves and react, borne out of close contact with her own and other's horses, allows her paintings to create a feeling of living flesh and blood, ready to leap from the canvas. Lesley has chosen to focus on the oldest of breeds, the Arabian, Lusitano, and Andalusian, renowned for their spirit and beautiful movement. These wonderful creatures have spent centuries working in partnership with man, and are exceptional in their intelligence, kindness and sparkling personalities. “To see them rearing, spinning, and prancing, is to witness poetry in motion. They are such an amazing mixture of male and female principles. Muscles of steel encased in cornsilk hair, they emanate power and gentleness, pride and compassion” More recently, Lesley has begun a series of works featuring The Coldstream Guards and Blues and Royals of the Horseguards. These works focus on the hard work and commitment to excellence required by both man and horse in creating the spectacles of pageantry we see in the UK.
