Artwork Description

 about this bronze sculpture

Sadegh Adham’s Horse and Gun Series of bronze sculptures explores the rich mythology of the horse, intertwined with themes of power, freedom, and conflict. In many cultures, the horse is a symbol of strength and nobility, often linked to heroic figures. The gun, juxtaposed with the horse, represents control, protection, and the harsh realities of war. Adham reimagines this combination, fusing the grace of the horse with the weapon's stark symbolism.

The bronze medium is essential to Adham’s work, capturing the intricate details of both the horse’s muscular form and the sharp precision of the gun. Bronze, known for its durability, allows for a lifelike representation of motion and expression. The medium enhances the tension between the horse’s elegance and the weapon’s power. The warm, earthy tones of the bronze evoke a deep connection between the natural world and the forces that shape human conflict, blending beauty with struggle.
