Victoria Horkan

ARTIST


Saatchi artist Victoria Horkan has exhibited her work in prestigious galleries all over London and overseas. In her latest collection her work addresses evolution and explores the idea of how butterflies and nature may transform and adapt to climate changes in the future.  She cuts fragmented pieces of photography to distort the shape of the butterfly, however by presenting them together in a formation she’s also supporting a notion of togetherness. By grouping the butterflies in circular motion, she breathes life and eternity by portraying a message of positivity within her pieces.


Establishing her artistic career by expressing her ability to manoeuvre paint in a sculptural way, her work takes on an almost 3D presence that is profound, unique and immediately uplifting. The question on everyone’s lips is how does she do it? Beckoning the viewer to look closer the artist flirts with the idea of reality versus the futuristic and challenges natures natural inherent beauty as we know it.


‘By cutting the butterflies I am trying to convey the metamorphosis aspect of the butterflies in the way they currently evolve and change. I’m an artist, why not create the impossible?’

There's also a nod to Attenborough within Horkan’s paintings, and his extensive work captured on film the extraordinary world we don't always have the privilege of seeing first hand. Horkan wanted to emulate that through her natural ability to create movement within her paintings. 


'In the natural world animals with the strongest gene pool adapt and evolve.  I foster an evolutionarily process in developing my artwork, stronger pieces are developed from one aspect, or organism to another. One piece comes out of something very small, I am still evolving'.


Victoria Horkan

Her love for colour and encapsulating the essence of her subject matter transcends over the surface of the canvas with vigour, movement and buoyant expression.

Victoria Horkan creates powerful, emotive paintings on large canvases with immense textures and colours brought to the fore.

Victoria has developed a style transforming the canvas into an almost 3D like effect through her clever use of paint. The true encapsulating beauty of her work can only be appreciated when you see these timeless, detailed deeply emotional pieces in reality.

My wife bought me a print and we loved it that much we ask Victoria to commission us a painting, and what a beauty it is! I’m sure it won’t be long before we commission a new one! Amazing!

We purchased multiple prints to display in our new podiatry practice to add the wow factor to what were plain white walls. The hardest part was selecting which ones to purchase as we loved so many. Vicky recommended a good local framing company and also agreed to tweak the size of one of the prints for us. They brighten the clinic up and we regularly receive positive comments on them. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Vicky to friends and family.

Vicky created an amazing piece for the hallway in our house. She came to our house, listened to exactly what we wanted, and developed an incredible painting that we love.

I highly recommended Vicky and will definitely be using her in the future. ❤️❤️

Victoria Horkan is an exceptional artist. The works she creates are uniquely beautiful. I would recommend commissioning a private piece especially. The experience and care from Victoria is fantastic and the result is wonderful.

I recently purchased the beautiful ‘Yellow’ and when I unwrapped it, it was even better in reality!
It’s such a joyful, vibrant painting and I am thrilled with it.
