Marguerite Horner (born in Lincoln in 1954[1]) is a representational painter whose work presents snapshots of the seemingly mundane: a sliver of dual carriageway in profile, a petrol station or a rundown shop in a tired suburban street.[2] Of her work she says “my paintings aim to investigate, among other things, notions of transience, intimacy, loss and hope.”[3]
In 2011 Horner exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennale in ‘Afternoon Tea‘ with WW Gallery and received her first London solo exhibition ‘The Seen and Unseen’‘ in 2012 at The Pitzhanger Manor Gallery in London.[4] Her work has been acquired by a number of art museums including Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Falmouth Art Gallery, The Madison Museum of Fine Art, Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, Schneider Museum of Art, Sheffield City Art Gallery and Swindon Art Gallery.[5]
