Suzy Spence's 'A Night Among The Horses' at Sears Peyton Gallery critiques foxhunting through a feminist lens.

Suzy Spence's showcase, 'A Night Among The Horses,' took place at Sears Peyton Gallery, 210 Eleventh Avenue, Suite 802, from January 11 to February 2, 2018. The exhibition highlighted paintings that portray scenes from foxhunting, including 'Carriage (II),' a 24 x 24 inch acrylic on panel created in 2017. According to Amy Rahn, who penned the catalogue essay, Spence's work intertwines a passion for the sport's visual appeal with critiques of feminism and class. Her vibrant paint techniques capture the energy and elegance of riders, while also addressing gender dynamics. By actively engaging in riding culture, Spence enriches her observational commentary. The exhibition examines the interplay between genre painting and critique, focusing on masculinity and power.
