drama of equestrian sport, presenting a dynamic steeplechase scene filled with energy and precision. The painting exemplifies her ability to blend strong composition with expressive brushwork, a hallmark of contemporary Scottish art.
Two horses and riders take centre stage as they clear a jump in perfect unison, their forms suspended mid air. Campbell’s confident handling of colour and light heightens the sense of speed and competition, while the surrounding crowd and racecourse details anchor the work firmly in the world of British sporting tradition. The artist’s subtle tonal shifts and carefully observed gestures bring a vivid realism to the scene without sacrificing painterly texture.
Campbell has long been admired within Scottish art for her ability to portray human and animal subjects with empathy and vitality. Hurdles is a compelling example of her mature style — a work that combines technical skill with narrative immediacy, appealing to collectors of both figurative and sporting art.
