It’s been a really intense few months, completing two bodies of work back to back. Somehow, with the help of friends and loved ones and managed to get it done. I’ve learned a few things along the way as usually happens and I’m really looking forward to presenting my latest paintings for my next show ‘Horsepower’ @jdmalatgallery Dubai. Opens November 5th.

Pegasus (2025) Oil on Canvas, 73 x 76 inches • While conceiving the designs for this body of work, I tried to play up anachronisms within art-historical models such as 18th-century paintings of landed gentry on horseback in the bucolic countryside and contrasting these using simple modern imagery that relate to the idea of Horsepower. Such paintings not only represented their subjects but offered the subtext of power and status and so I used this model as the basis for some of the compositions of the paintings in the exhibition ‘Horsepower’. The winged horse from Greek mythology Pegasus, is presented as an inverted composition of such paintings. Symbolic elements compose the depiction which make the whole. The riders cowl billows in the wind, obfuscating any personality or identity, while forming the shape of of the wing in silhouette. In my mind this figure is slightly sinister, as one of riders of the apocalypse. The upper part of the horse is somehow worn away like the remnants of the Selene Horse from the Parthenon (itself a perpetual controversy). The architecture in the background I modeled in SkethUp based on many observations I made of Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, which I resided near during the autumn of 2022. Built from 1936-41, Tempelhof’s proto-brutalist exterior is a stark contrast to the lush, classical motifs of the rider in nature and which further serves as a reminder of the types of power and it’s limitations. Finally, while three of works Titan (which I posted earlier), Pegasus(pictured), and Trojan take their names from both art and literature, there is another tangential but deliberate connection, as all three are names given to US rocket systems both for space exploration and also as weapons of war. Again, at play is the idea of horsepower in the arena of contemporary political and military power. • Horsepower: on View @jdmalatgallery Dubai, November 5th-30th Photos: @jqc_photo.ny / Tim Kent from the permanent collection at Tate Britain / detail of Tempelhof Airport by Tim Kent 2022-23 • #horsepower #parthenon #georgestubbs #horse #tempelhof #titan #pegasus #trojan #painting #timkent #art #dubai #tatebritain

Thanks @jaybulger

Love the color harmony. So cool when designers base their palette and materials from a painting. • The Swimming Hole (2016) • #miseenscène #painting #theworldofinteriors #colorharmony #design

What shapes a collector’s eye? For collector Terrell Estime, collecting isn’t just about what hangs on the wall. It grows through conversations with artists, studio visits, and the relationships that form around the work. In this feature, Terrell reflects on what draws him to certain pieces and how the works he’s acquired have become a kind of visual journal of his life. Here, we’re sharing works from his collection alongside excerpts from our conversation. Read the full interview on Cohart and watch the extended video conversation linked in the article.
