Zadok Ben-David | Horse Power

Description

The form of the horse is taken from an eighteenth or nineteenth-century volume of anatomical illustrations, but is shown, ironically, as a monument to power and glory. The form of the horse, being made as flat fretwork is a shadow rather that a full three-dimensional body, emphasising Ben-David's concept of the ultimate immaterial nature of grandeur.
