Description
This unique geometric horse sculpture depicts a horse with its head lowered. It combines the elegance of equine form with the modernity of geometric design, creating a striking visual contrast against the historic backdrop.
The horse’s body is interconnected geometric shapes, with each facet meticulously crafted to capture light and shadow, enhancing the corten weathering steel sculpture’s dynamic and multidimensional appearance. The angular lines and sharp edges highlight the horse’s musculature abstractly, transforming the natural contours into a series of clean, modern planes. The head lowered in a pose of calm and submission, adds a sense of tranquility and introspection to the piece. The use of Corten weathering steel gives the sculpture a distinctive rust-colored patina, which not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also ensures its durability and resistance to the elements.
To commission such a custom sculpture, a detailed process must be followed. Initially, a concept meeting is held between the client and the artist to discuss the vision, desired characteristics, and placement of the sculpture. The artist then creates preliminary sketches and 3D models to visualize the design. Once the design is approved, the artist selects high-quality corten weathering steel and begins the fabrication process. This involves cutting, welding, and assembling the geometric pieces to form the complete sculpture.
The final steps include surface treatment to encourage the weathering process and patina formation, ensuring the sculpture’s longevity and visual appeal. The installation is carefully planned to integrate the sculpture seamlessly into the historic district, considering factors such as scale, setting, and environmental impact. The result is a masterpiece that blends contemporary art with historical context, providing a thought-provoking addition to the district.
