‘Racehorse on Newmarket Heath with a Rubbing Down House’ - © Ripley 2014 (Archival pigment print on Somerset cotton paper) _____ 64.6 x 40 inches / Edition of 5* _____ Ripley's homage to the English painter George Stubbs (1724-1806). Stubbs was renowned for portraying the many Rubbing Down Houses in Newmarket, England, within his compositions in the late 18th century. The building featured in the portrait is the last surviving Rubbing Down House on Newmarket Heath which has been extensively renovated in post-production to ensure the image was respectful to the original concept; the building these days has steel doors and plastic guttering, all removed for this final image (new interiors were also added). In the picture the foreground scene is juxtaposed with the modernity of the Millennium Grandstand on the distant horizon. The image is made up of many separate elements (see; method), foreground pathway, grass, buildings, sky. The horse was photographed separately in his training yard with his regular groom in a very relaxed environment using natural light. This Rubbing Down House was also used by Sir Alfred Munnings (equine artist) as his studio when he painted in Newmarket. The portrait was first exhibited at The Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket (UK) in July 2014. A solo exhibition entitled 'Ripley - The July Week Exhibition'. In October 2017 it was presented at The Munnings Art Museum where Ripley was invited as the speaker for the inaugural Munnings Birthday Lecture.

British artist, Ripley, works with high resolution digital composite photography to create large-scale pieces. His primary focus is working with Thoroughbred Racehorses, creating a feel of the equine master painters but using modern methods to create works of incredible detail and clarity. Working at magnifications of over one-thousand percent, pictures can take between 200-500 hours to complete. Commissioned pieces include the portrait of ‘Estimate’ for Her Majesty The Queen. Personal works include ‘Leopard Spotted Horse with Dalmatians in a Landscape’ and non-equine imagery such as the ‘Girl With Flag’ series. Ripley has recently completed a five year project creating 12 large-scale works for the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, to be exhibited in 2023.
