About The Artwork
expand_more
Equine Nude 163t by Benedicte Gele is a 15.74 x 15.74 inch mixed media work on canvas that captures the spirit of a horse in motion through minimal lines and deep tonal contrasts. Layers of charcoal, watercolor, and subtle acrylic washes dissolve into one another, creating an impression of strength emerging from atmosphere rather than defined form. The figure seems to step forward from a cloudlike mass, suggesting instinct, vulnerability, and the quiet intelligence of the animal.
The palette of cool indigos, slate greys, and gentle whites evokes air and movement, as if the horse is caught between presence and disappearance. Dripping paint traces the path of gravity, grounding the image and reminding the viewer of the raw physical nature of the medium. This original artwork resonates with collectors who appreciate expressive mark-making and the emotional depth found in contemporary equine portraiture.

About the artist

France based and internationally spread, Benedicte Gelé paints horses with expressiveness and emotions. Born in 1975 in the Parisian suburb, she’d never had connection with horses until she started to ride them at the age of 15. In parallel, school was at best the place where she could draw horses on the sidelines of her notebooks, with her head more in the clouds than focused on the teachers' words.
She became a graphic designer without stopping her research in the arts. Her curiosity and her desire to improve her skill, pushed her into learning by herself the different techniques like oil or watercolor. She started to paint landscapes with first success in regional exhibitions with some first prizes.
In 2004, her job as an art director ended as she became pregnant. This time of unemployment was undeniably a sign for her to start something else. Gelé became graphic designer and artist freelancer. On the horse side, she never failed to take time during the weekends with her mare she’d bought with the help of her parents and summer jobs when she was 18 years old. This first mare played a major role in her life without knowing it at the time.
