Christian Hook won Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year in 2014 — the resulting commission, a portrait of Alan Cumming, now hangs in the National Galleries of Scotland alongside wo rk by Botticelli and Rembrandt. Born in Gibraltar and trained at Middlesex University and the Royal College of Art, Hook is preoccupied with time and motion: the way a face or a figure exists across several instants simultaneously, each layer of transparent paint a different moment in a single image.Prompt is a further work in Hook's equestrian series, exploring the moment of readiness — a horse and rider at the point of action, before the movement begins. Hook's layered technique renders this charged instant in multiple simultaneous states: the tension of stillness, the imminence of motion. The title is characteristically precise — a prompt is a cue, a beginning, the moment before.
