AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description

This bronze sculpture depicts a horse in a decidedly contemporary and minimalist interpretation. With its long legs, stretched neck, and deliberately streamlined forms, the artist captures all the nobility, grace, and quiet power of this emblematic animal.

The elongated proportions give the work a sense of lightness and suspended movement. The posture, calm and proud, evokes a horse on alert, ready to bolt, while the simplified volumes highlight the natural elegance of its silhouette.

Made using the traditional lost-wax casting technique, this piece exhibits the irregularities and textures characteristic of a bronze fully handcrafted. Its dark brown patina enhances the reliefs and underscores the authentic character of artisanal work.

At the border between contemporary African art and modern minimalism, this sculpture captivates with the purity of its lines and its strong decorative presence. An ideal work for art lovers, of horses, and contemporary sculptures.
