Oxmarket is thrilled to present Equus. a celebration of the long storied connection of Sussex to the equine. It is one that is constantly being renewed in racetracks like Goodwood or Fontwell, in polo matches at Cowdray Park, and hacks through the South Downs. The indelible marks of this connection can be seen in the soil itself, from flurried hoofprints to the chalked form of the Litlington White Horse.

Throughout the year riders travel from around the world to Sussex to build on this rich heritage. A richness that is matched in paint and clay as both local and international artists gather to show work capturing the various aspects of horses. Their work ranges from dynamic and immediate studies of Andalusian dressage horses, to finely wrought oil paintings of dignified racehorses, to titanic watercolours capturing power and grace in vibrant marks.
