Marguerite Horner solo exhibition ‘Numinous’ will be exhibiting a series of paintings through which she will explore the idea of the ’Numinous’ and were inspired by a journey along the California coast. ‘Numinous’ is the name of something very specific, and yet difficult to define.‘The feeling of it may at times come sweeping like a gentle tide pervading the mind’, wrote the Lutheran theologian Rudolf Otto, who sought to define this ineffable experience through the metaphor of water: ‘It may become the hushed, trembling, and speechless humility of the creature in the presence of––whom or what? In the presence of that which is a Mystery inexpressible.’

Marguerite Horner graduated with an MA in Fine Art from City and Guilds of London Art school in 2004.  She has since exhibited widely in Art Fairs and Group Shows.
In 2011 she exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennale with WW gallery in Afternoon tea and in 2019 at the 58th Venice Biennale with Caroline Wiseman Gallery in Alive in the Universe. In 2017 Horner won the NOA17 MS Amlin Prize, and in 2018 the British Women Artists Award. Examples of her work have been acquired by several museums, most recently the Yale centre for British Art in `New Haven, Connecticut, and has exhibited across England and in the USA and China.
