About the Artwork

A Mythical Abstract Centuar Human Figurative Sculpture.Humand And Horse Bronze Statue With A Lot Going On For Indoors. Andrew won a silver medal in Spectrum for his Moodius sculpture in 2005, so four years later he decided to revisit his character, but this time capturing him in movement. The sculpture was inspired by a terracotta Andrew saw in the Modern Art museum in Rome, At the time he was furious because he couldn`t get into the gallery Borghese Art Museum that he had made a specific journey to see. So in short, he was forced to visit the Modern Art Gallery (which as luck would have it) was one of the most splendid museumshe says he has ever seen. The piece that inspired Moodius was a small terracotta sculpture with a girl riding on his shoulders, as opposed to his back, which would be the most logical composition. The idea struck and inspired Andrew, later resurfacing as the dynamic humano-equine sculpture you see here.

Artist Comment

This was probably one of the most difficult sculptures I have sculpted to date. Technically it abounds with problematic conundrums, mainly because of the volume of detail which characterizes this sculpture. At only 28 inches tall, there is a lot of fine tooling to fit into a small space and features like the hands and feet dry out very quickly, too fast in fact to be able to sculpt the whole thing before it cracks and falls to pieces. To circumnavigate this obstacle, I sculpted a generic horse head, with no lips or nose and moulded it separately. Then I could cast the five heads needed and place them in position, modeling the facial expressions for each horse in wax, so that they were safe from drying out. This allowed me to concentrate on the rest of the sculpture, which I then more or less finished except for the hands and feet. These I did at the very last minute and as each one was completed I covered them carefully in silicone rubber to seal them before moving onto the next. This way I completed the sculpture with very little stress and a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
