01/02 July | In partnership with De Paardenkamp, the Netherlands

Paard Verzameld and De Paardenkamp partnered together in early July to bring to life the NOBEL exhibition. This incredible event showcased the incredible beauty and artistic talents inspired by the resident horses of De Paardenkamp. The NOBEL exhibition featured over 20 talented artists from around the world who researched, discovered, and created works of art that depict the beauty and unique personalities of the resident horses.

​De Paardenkamp is an indispensable charity organization that is committed to providing top-quality care and shelter to retired horses. For over half a century, they have remained dedicated to caring for these incredible animals, ensuring that they lead happy and fulfilling lives, even after retirement. As an organization passionate about promoting equine artistry, Paard Verzameld was inspired to partner with De Paardenkamp to create an event that would celebrate the beauty of these amazing animals.

The NOBEL exhibition was a truly inspiring event, a beautiful display of equine wonder and artistic prowess. The event featured a wide array of artistic styles and mediums, including oil paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Each artist’s work depicted the beauty and unique personality of the horses that reside in De Paardenkamp.​

Their creative vision is truly inspiring: they managed to capture each horse’s distinctive character through vibrant pops of colour, exquisite attention to detail, and masterful technical skills. The NOBEL exhibition was an incredible showcase of outstanding talent, creativity, and storytelling.​

At Paard Verzameld and De Paardenkamp, we believe that horses are magnificent creatures that deserve our love and care, especially when they retire. Through the NOBEL exhibition, we hope to raise awareness of the importance of horse welfare widely. We want people to appreciate and preserve equine magnificence, even after their active years.

In conclusion, the NOBEL exhibition was a triumph that celebrated both the incredible beauty and artistic talents inspired by the resident horses of De Paardenkamp. The partnership between Paard Verzameld and De Paardenkamp was a noble joint effort to raise awareness of horse welfare and promote equine artistry. We are delighted at the exhibition’s success and look forward to continuing our commitment to promoting the beauty of these incredible animals.
