This signature presentation horseshoe sculpture by John Drury was inspired by the beauty of the unrestrained power of a horse free from the constraints of any man-made limitations as he glides effortlessly over a hedge line. The incredible attention to detail in this sculpture ranges from the meticulous care in the expression of each element of the anatomy of the horse to the painstakingly accurate rendition of each of the leaves of the hedge... and all with horseshoes as his raw material! Challenged to transform the cold steel shoes into the warm flowing form of the horse's joyous escape from the earth, John forges, shapes and welds the horseshoes until is transformed into its unique component of this presentation. The horse and hedge are securely mounted on a distinctively shaped base of red oak treated with a custom ebony/walnut stain and carnuba wax.
Artists Comments: This robust sculpture was created using all or part of 87 individual horseshoes and makes an unmistakable statement celebrating the wonder of the horse. It is an invaluable addition to the collection of the true horse lover who must have that "once in a lifetime" treasure. It is equally suitable in a corporate setting or as the centerpiece of a private collection.
