The exhibition “Out of the Blue” showcases the captivating “Blue Horse” series by St. Louis-based artist Maggie Robertson, created between 2019 and 2024. Known for her deeply emotive work exploring the connection between humans and the natural world, Robertson’s blue horses evoke a sense of timelessness and ethereal beauty. Drawing from equine history and the inherent bond between horse and human, these paintings – as well as prints and talisman sculptures – explore both the physical grace of the animals and their symbolic resonance throughout history.

The artist’s fascination with horses shines through each canvas, with vibrant, ultramarine hues and dynamic compositions that invite viewers to contemplate the relationship between man and beast. Each piece reflects the artist’s philosophical exploration of the horse’s profound impact on human emotions, as she channels this through expressive brushstrokes and layered textures.

This exhibition at Kim Storage Gallery offers an immersive experience into Robertson’s world, where the majestic equine form becomes a metaphor for strength, freedom, and the human spirit.

Opening Reception: Friday, October 18 from 5 to 9PM (Gallery Night MKE)
