Artwork Description

about this bronze sculpture

Sadegh Adham’s Horse Series of bronze sculptures explores the rich mythology of the horse, symbolizing power, freedom, and nobility. In many cultures, the horse represents a link between the earthly and divine realms. In Persian mythology, it connects to heroic and celestial figures like the winged horses. Greek mythology associates horses with gods like Poseidon, symbolizing strength and speed. Adham taps into these associations, reimagining the horse as both noble and untamed.

The bronze medium is vital to Adham’s work, allowing for the detailed expression of the horse's muscular form and motion. Bronze, known for its durability, captures the horse’s essence and beauty. The medium emphasizes the strength and elegance of the horse while enhancing its mythical presence. The warm, rich tones of the bronze evoke a timeless connection with cultures that have revered the horse.
