NICHOLA EDDERY
16TH JUNE - 5TH JULY 2025
EXHIBITION CATALOGUE
It is a real pleasure to introduce Nichola Eddery, whose work enriches the visitor experience at the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket as our resident artist, and whose third solo exhibition at the Osborne Studio Gallery in London confirms her position as one of the most gifted equestrian artists working today. Nichola brings to her practice a rare combination of classical training, technical mastery, and deep intuitive understanding of the horse.
Her work is rooted in the traditions of the Old Masters, yet it is unmistakably contemporary in its precision and vitality. Whether working in oil, graphite, or charcoal, her portraits convey not just anatomical accuracy, but the character, spirit, and lives of her subjects. Raised in a racing family, Nichola understands her subject from the inside out, and it shows.
Her art captures not only the beauty and athleticism of the thoroughbred but also the nuance of the racing world — the silks, the stables, the fleeting moment before the off. It is this authenticity that has earned her admirers across the racing and sporting world, as well as collectors far beyond it. We are proud to count Nichola as part of the NHRM’s creative community and are delighted to see her work receive the recognition it so richly deserves. This new exhibition promises to be another compelling chapter in a career of growing distinction.
