Milan Ivanič is featured on Art & Horse Racing’s website as a painter whose work celebrates the British landscape in vivid colour and carefully composed scenes. The gallery’s profile describes him as trained in the central European tradition, born and brought up in former Czechoslovakia, and later based in the UK after arriving in 1970. The page also notes that his paintings have been selected for major national exhibitions in London, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the BP Portrait Award Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery and the Discerning Eye Exhibition at the Mall Galleries.
Art & Horse Racing presents Ivanič within a broad roster of artists whose practices range from painting to sculpture and who are shown through the gallery’s online platform and related events. The gallery describes itself as based in Newmarket and says it brings together the training of racehorses and the celebration of fine art. Its artists’ pages and exhibition listings show a programme that mixes equine subjects, landscapes, animals and decorative works, with the gallery also noting open daily viewing by appointment at Saint Wendred’s in Hamilton Road, Newmarket.
Ivanič’s biography on the site sketches a career shaped by movement across several places. After leaving former Czechoslovakia, he lived in Sussex, Devon, London and California before moving to Lancaster. The gallery says his work brings out the essence of his subjects through colour and composition, and that his paintings are held in private collections in many countries. The emphasis is on landscape, but the page also includes works such as 'Gaitbarrows', 'High Summer', 'Late Summer Meadow', 'Midsummer Meadow', 'Water in Autumn Light' and 'Seaford Head', reinforcing the artist’s focus on light, season and place.
The website lists a substantial group of Ivanič works, spanning acrylic, oil, egg tempera and pen and ink. Among the titled works are 'Whitbury Harbour', 'Apple Orchard', 'The Sculptor', 'Devil’s Dyke', 'Hope Gap', 'Estuary', 'The Open Door', 'The Sea, The Sea', 'Allotments in Bloom', 'The Pheasant', 'The Summer House: outside and inside', 'Shoreline' and 'Crossing the Water'. The range of media and subjects presented on the page suggests a practice that moves between coastal views, meadows, orchards and other British scenes, while remaining consistent in its attention to natural form.
The Ivanič profile appears alongside other artist pages that frame the gallery’s wider programme. Amy Elizabeth Lay’s page highlights paintings shaped by her experiences growing up in northeastern Oregon, while Diana McClaran’s page focuses on bronze sculpture inspired by animals, and Derek Pearce’s page features sculptural furniture works. Kayla Martell’s page notes exhibitions at institutions including the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Society of Women Artists. Against that backdrop, Ivanič is positioned as one of the painters in the gallery’s mix of international artists and subject areas.
The gallery’s separate exhibition listing currently highlights 'The Beauty of Nature', a group show at J/M Gallery, 230 Portobello Road, London W11 1LJ, from 23 to 29 September 2026, with a private view on Thursday 24 September from 5pm to 9pm. The listing says Art & Horse Racing Gallery presents the show as a group exhibition from its international stable of artists. Ivanič is listed on the gallery site among the artists whose work appears in the broader programme, while his dedicated page continues to foreground landscape paintings such as 'Cartmel Priory and Racecourse', 'Meadow by the Lune' and 'Passing by the Salt Marsh'.
