Strong Control of Freedom Sculpture

A horse is symbol of many things to many people depending on their orientation but generally a horse is a very strong animal useful to man especially when tamed. A tamed horse signifies strength controlled and not strength misused. This portrait of a horse was made out of 1mm thick carbon steel sheet and framed with carbon steel square pipe. The art piece was hand cut/sketched, welded, sanded and hand brushed/painted by Kene Mogbo. Around the horse is wavy and arched shape. This feature represent a number of things about horses: their ability to be tamed, their ability to stand tall and show strength even in times of confrontations/battle and their function even on water. The metal mesh behind the horse indicates that the horse is not behind bars. The gold color is a symbol of pure strength and it was carefully used /hand brushed to accentuate the precious and graceful “mane” / hair of the horse. Behind the metal mesh is a thin wooden board partly hand painted in gold to help dampen any sound waves getting to the art piece: for acoustic purposes. Every curve on this piece tells of how free form drawing or craft can be controlled to suit the purpose for which it’s meant to serve, hence the title Strong Control of Freedom.
