Artwork Description

Cavalier

30.0 x 207.0 cm

The sculpture of the rider embodies a fusion between the majestic strength of this animal and the timeless elegance of a chess piece. By choosing this subject, the artist captured the duality between the raw power and finesse characteristic of the horse. The sculpture's fluid lines express graceful movement, while subtle details, such as the mane, add a lively dimension to the work. The artist's inspiration is rooted in the balance between nature and strategy of the game of chess. The nuances of each movement of the horse, ranging from tranquility to displayed power, are reflected in the artistic choices, creating a piece that transcends the simple decorative object to become a symbolic representation of life itself. ​The emotions transmitted through this sculpture oscillate between contemplation and admiration for ephemeral beauty. Arson's idea was to create a thought-provoking work, inspiring viewers to explore the complexity of existence through the eyes of a horse, while hinting at the strategy and planning required in the game of chess.
