This is the sculpture of a horse rearing on a circular openwork base. It is made of varnished white steel and welded with a bow.
After experimenting with various mediums like bronze, clay and concrete, Manon Perrier discovered the potential of steel, and she did not look back. Inspired by her father who had a workshop, by some artist friends in a collective, including sculptor José Maria David who acted as Manon’s patron, she focused on recreating the human form at first. As for Alex Guilmart, he began sculpting when he met Manon and fell in love with the craft. The duo has developed an intuitive technique to make monumental sculptures of horses, roosters, and other animals that are infused with movement. For Manon and Alex sculpting is like magic and steel is a material with infinite possibilities. Constantly evolving and innovating is their driving force.
