LugnegÄrd design

Mikael LugnegÄrd has a knack for creating stunning concept artwork and with the inclusion of an SR-71 there was no way we couldn't be in absolute awe. See more great work from this tallented chap here.

Tom Whalen

I suppose the best way to describe Tom's work is modern vintage, which makes no sense. Anyway, it's awesome. See more here.

Le ballon Rouge

I saw this film a good few years ago now, on an old VHS copy and was very pleased to find the film in 4 parts on YouTube.

Beautifully shot in amazing colour with a flowing narrative this 1956 film follows a boy and his red ballon around the street of Paris. Simple and timeless film making from Albert Lamorisse.


Watch here - Part 1, Part 2 , Part 3, Part 4

Julia Randall

Bizarre yet beautiful. These slightly disturbing ultra real paintings are stunning. Looking forward to seeing more of Julia Randalls' tongue.

Jasper Johns

As my personal favourite artist of all time it was inevitable that Johns would end up on Drivinghorse. He painted flags, targets, numbers and maps from the mid 50's onwards, primarily using encaustic, collage and stencils. Like all paintings only a gallery viewing will do them justice, failing that there are some very well printed books on his work.

The lightning field

In 1977 Walter de Maria placed 400 stainless steel poles in a remote area of the desert around Quemado, New Mexico. The Lighting Field's exact location remains a secret but you can arrange an overnight stay in their cabin in the hope of a strike, we want to go.

Ed Ruscha

The Hayward Gallery at London's Southbank centre is holding this great exhibition of Ed Ruscha's work. It's well worth a visit and if like me you have a short attention span at exhibitions, the layout of this has a good tempo and remains interesting without saturating.

Luke Dixon

Some bonkers art from Luke Dixon here. His sketches are pure genius. The lack of eyes freak us out but we love it.
