Don’t Let That Horse Eat That Violin is the first group show by Painters’ Painters, a network of likeminded artists built online. It brings together a selection of painters wholly committed to their medium, who share an investment in the particular possibilities of paint. The show is an attempt to highlight the endlessness of such possibilities.
Together, these artists demonstrate the world-building capacity of paint. It can hold intimacies and desires that exist outside of language, narrative scenes that don't exist at all, and perhaps most importantly a space where the playful, the mournful and the mundane are all welcome. Put simply: because painters paint, a horse can eat a violin.
Curated by Alice Mansfield () who reflected on stepping into the curator’s role for the first time: “As a painter myself, it's been really interesting to bring together a collection of work in this way. Curation requires a very different brain to painting, and I've really enjoyed the processes involved: finding a common thread, distilling the essential elements of people's practices, writing, and trying to do justice to work that I really admire. It's my first time curating, but it's definitely something I hope to do more of”.
