Contemporary British artist Jo Rose unveils Year of the Horse, a compelling new exhibition at Spring Cheltenham, the acclaimed artist‑run gallery in the Montpellier district. Bringing together a series of powerful mixed‑media works, the collection explores the horse as both a cultural symbol and a profoundly personal metaphor for resilience, movement, and transformation.

Drawing on the curves, flows and forests of the South-West English landscape and the long‑standing equestrian heritage of Cheltenham, Rose’s practice blends sculptural mark‑making, layered materials, and arts‑and‑crafts influences to create richly textured surfaces that pulse with energy. Her work sits at the intersection of contemporary expressionism and tactile craft, offering a fresh, emotionally charged interpretation of one of Britain’s most enduring artistic subjects.

Set within Spring Cheltenham’s distinctive rotunda gallery, the exhibition creates an immersive environment that amplifies the work's physicality and presence. While rooted in place, Year of the Horse speaks to resonating themes: grief, healing, and the quiet power of renewal. Each piece reflects Rose’s own journey through loss and recovery, woven into the wildlife and landscapes that shape her daily life.

With its fusion of contemporary technique and emotional depth, Year of the Horse positions Jo Rose as an exciting voice in the evolving landscape of British art.

Ephemera : minor transient documents of everyday life. Halcyon colours that connect us to childhoods; 70s’ fonts and Victorian handwritten script - papers smoothed and stroked and aged by touching : physical, analogue and intimate.

Using vintage papers, old linen books and traditional oil paints, Tricia blends gestural markmaking and layered surfaces to create contemporary abstract pieces with richly visually tactile surfaces that sit within the British Modernist aesthetic.

The pieces explore memory, transformation and the quiet beauty of imperfection and noticing the often overlooked.

“I’m delighted to be launching my new collection of paintings ’Signs of Hope’ at Spring Cheltenham Gallery in this April. My inspiration is always the emotions evoked by the natural landscape; it both makes me pause and want to breathe all that beauty in, and want to rush forward and experience it all at the same time. Studio explorations have taken me to some exciting new places. I’ve been looking afresh at my much beloved big, beautiful wide-open landscapes as well newly discovered smaller more intimate moments of beauty and hope, found in waterfalls, sunlight, and nature.

There's something about being able to see the horizon that brings me such a deep sense of peace. I’ve earned my place there, I’ve battled up the big hill, overcome myself and so many obstacles, and my reward is the incredible beauty I now see before me. It’s the calm, the immense joy I feel in the realisation that I’m a small part of something much bigger. That beauty gives me hope, it helps me look outside of myself and my immediate circumstances and believe there is more.”
