Etienne Chambaud Zebroid, 2024
45 x 31 x 40 cm
The work is from a series of bronze sculptures, entitled Zebroid, based on found realist sculptural depictions of horses, which have been cut, folded and reassembled. Split yet still connected, the horse’s bodies are diffracted and occupy multiple perspectives at once. Though their original shapes have not been lost, the bodies seem to have initiated possible movements on other simultaneous planes. Their title evokes the figure of the zebra, wild and untameable Equidae, and its famous stripes, which here have become real permanent cuts.
