A PASSION FOR HORSES

Born in 1954 in the South West of France where his father bred and trained racehorses who was live on TVG several times, Hubert de Watrigant started sketching in his father’s stables. He possesses an extraordinary gift to seize a fleeting moment, and to capture the transient effects of light. Watrigant uses a wide variety of materials including charcoal, pastel, watercolour and oils, and works on many different surfaces, sometimes including collage.

Influences on Watrigant’s work include Delacroix, Gericault, and Rene Princeteau, the first teacher of Toulouse-Lautrec, another artist of noble family with a ‘passion cheval.’ Watrigant has a distinctly impressionist approach to the world of racing, allowing us freedom to interpret his vision.
