Whereas Trish Wylie's earlier paintings, scaled up from smaller collaged studies, featured the violent ‘heroism’ of adventure in the Wild West as glamorised by the film industry, TW’s most recent work steps away from the lawlessness of an untamed land where gun laws continue to define and determine behaviour. Her new paintings celebrate the spirit of freedom portrayed so beautifully in Cormac McCarthy’s Borderland Trilogy 'All The Pretty Horses'. Identifying the riders simply by the brim and curl of their hats, the jangle of spurs and the squeeze of leather, the horses are the stars of the show – you can hear the thunder of their hooves, the sound of their breath and the speed as they run. Trish Wylie does not seek to recreate figurative semblance, more the spirit of the horses in the moment, their exuberance and primal energy. Rearing horses feature predominantly, wild creatures, at one with a wild land.
