Lexington Gallery Hop: Sept. 17, 5-8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In celebration of the World Equestrian Games, the Morlan Gallery proudly presents The Illustrious Horse, a small group invitational critically renowned contemporary artists from Kentucky. Twelve visual artists and one poet were asked to creatively respond to a horse image found in Transylvania University’s esteemed Clara Peck Collection. The Peck Collection, located in the Rare Book Room of Transylvania University\u2019s Library, houses collectable books dealing with the history of the horse and natural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Exhibition participants are sculptor Steve Armstrong (Lexington); painter Gaela Erwin (Louisville); conceptual artist Kurt Gohde (Lexington); drawing and mixed media artist Michael Goodlett (Wilmore); video artist Valerie Fuchs (Louisville); photographer Guy Mendes (Lexington); painter Lennon Michalski (Lexington); fiber artist Arturo Sandoval (Lexington); conceptual artist Zo\u00e9 Strecker (Harrodsburg); drawing and mixed media artist Lawrence Tarpey (Lexington); sculptor Travis Townsend (Richmond); sculptor Lavon Van Williams (Lexington); and poet Richard Taylor (Frankfort).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These artists innovatively respond to the uncommon and diverse visual imagery of the Peck Collection. For example, Steve Armstrong replies to George Stubbs\u2019 1766 Anatomy of a Horse, a virtuosic collection of drawings; Lennon Michaslski answers to Hortusan Itatis (Garden of Health) a rare illuminated manuscript from 1400; and video artist Valerie Fuchs finds inspiration from Rosa Bonheur\u2019s original artist\u2019s sketchbook, complete with the initial studies for her masterwork The Horse Fair. Known as one of the greatest animal painters of the 19th century, Bonheur\u2019s Horse Fair currently hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Kentucky Poet Laureate (1999-2001) Richard Taylor responds in writing to Edward Troye\u2019s painting of the thoroughbred Lexington, the most successful sire during the second half of the nineteenth century. Born in 1808, Troye is an eminent artist who painted America\u2019s most distinguished horses for forty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
