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, tracing a lineage from 19th-century masters to living artists. It serves as a focused, thematic exhibition within a commercial gallery context, demonstrating how a specific motif can connect diverse artistic practices across time and styles.
