About the artwork
Go Your Own Way captures the fluid choreography of a school of Atlantic mackerel as they sweep through shifting bands of underwater light. Horn uses the natural iridescence of the fish to create a sense of rhythm and momentum, each body catching a different glint as it turns within the shoal. The composition balances unity and individuality: the collective motion of the group is unmistakable, yet subtle variations in direction hint at the independence suggested by the title. The result is a serene, immersive study of movement, light, and the quiet intelligence of the sea.
About the Artist
Jan Merrick Horn is a British painter whose practice is rooted in a deep attentiveness to everyday beauty and the quiet poetry of observation. Born in 1948, he has spent decades refining a style that balances realism with a gentle, contemplative atmosphere. Working primarily in oil on board, Horn is known for his still lifes, coastal scenes, and floral studies, each rendered with a sensitivity to light, surface, and the subtle narratives held within ordinary objects. His compositions often feel like moments paused—carefully arranged yet never contrived—inviting the viewer to linger in their calm, reflective space. Across his career, Horn has exhibited widely and appeared frequently at UK auctions, where his work continues to attract collectors drawn to his understated craftsmanship and his ability to elevate the familiar into something quietly resonant. His paintings carry a sense of everyday elegance and observational intimacy that has become a hallmark of his artistic voice.
