Kyle Lucks

Few artists in the equestrian world possess the rare alchemy of technical mastery, emotional intelligence, and modern visual flair quite like Kyle Lucks. His work is instantly recognizable: muscular, kinetic, sculptural horses that seem to break through the surface of the canvas, vibrating with tension and controlled power. Lucks doesn’t simply paint horses, he reveals their internal architecture, the biomechanics beneath the beauty, the pulse behind every stride. His art is equal parts anatomy, movement, and mythmaking. 

But it is his expansion into luxury textiles that has further distinguished him as one of the most compelling creatives in equestrian fine art today. In his acclaimed Stirrup Collection, Lucks transforms the iconic silk scarf—long intertwined with riding culture—into a sophisticated new medium. Rather than designing prints digitally, he paints directly onto authentic Hermès silk scarves, honoring the heritage of a house originally founded as a saddlery. The result is an arresting fusion of fashion, craftsmanship, and equestrian tradition. 

These silk works feel almost cinematic. The softness of the silk contrasts with the explosive athleticism of his subjects, creating a tension that is both elegant and electric. Lucks then mounts each painted scarf on a custom wood support, elevating the piece from wearable accessory to gallery-worthy fine art. It’s a nod to saddlery craftsmanship—hand-finished wood, luxury textiles, and equestrian lineage brought together with contemporary vision. The effect is arresting, and collectors have taken notice. His debut scarf painting sold within minutes of its unveiling, and demand quickly grew for giclée editions in multiple sizes, now displayed in homes, barns, galleries, and private clubs from Wellington to Palm Beach. 

In every medium he touches, Kyle Lucks expands what equestrian art can be: modern, muscular, luxurious, and unforgettable. His work doesn’t just portray the horse; it honors its soul, its history, and its place in contemporary culture.
