Jane Shaw on this sculpture: 
The shape of horses heads vary hugely in size, shape, personality and feel.  I never tire of looking at the head of a horse.  It is a subject which has been represented in art through the ages in many shapes and guises.  Ironically, you often see horses heads in the fields, looking down, munching away, or occasionally you may spot them sniffing the ground, before they move onto the ground and role!

I tried to sculpt a horse head on its nose a number of years ago, using plaster and scrim and infact it ended up a terrible mess, as gravity got the better of me, and working out their shape when on the nose I found very hard.  However, I returned to it a few years ago, and worked slowly on the sculpture, often leaving it to lie dormant for many months in my studio, in its raw state of plaster and scrim.  It’s amazing how the eye constantly scans shapes, over time, and develops an understanding of what is right and wrong.  And then during one of the lock downs, I decided to finish the sculpture.

This bronze or resin horse head represents, for me, the last bow.  A passing of time from one place to another.   Perhaps its quite a sad piece, but one of thankfulness and calm.  The horse has had a good life and he has returned to you, to say ‘thank you’ for the last time.

This bronze equestrian sculpture of a head of a horse can be cast in bronze as a limited edition of 12 and can be mounted on a corten steel base which is bespoke to your requirements depending on the space.  

It can look spectacular inside the home or in the garden or courtyard.
