The exhibition 'Soft Reins: From Degas to Fordjour' opened at Acquavella Galleries in Palm Beach's Royal Poinciana Plaza. Curated by artist Tomokazu Matsuyama, it presents works by a range of artists, from historical figures like Edgar Degas and Pablo Picasso to contemporary names like Derek Fordjour and Sarah Miska, all exploring equestrian themes.
The show highlights the enduring fascination with horses as artistic subjects, bridging centuries and styles. By placing modern and contemporary artists in dialogue with iconic masters, it examines how this timeless muse continues to inspire new visual interpretations and connects a local gallery scene to broader art historical narratives.
