Artwork description
The Rocking-Horse Winner is the first of a series of four Rocking-Horse Riders who are having a race, and he is exuberantly celebrating because he has won! Of course, it is debateable as to how you can win a rocking-horse race because, by their nature, rocking-horses don’t actually go anywhere… Nevertheless, this racer is out in front and is delighted to have succeeded.
The Rocking-Horse Winner has rocked himself to the absolute limit of his rocker, to the point where he will either rock back downwards, or tip over backwards completely. He is either enthusiastically reaching the limit of what can be achieved, or recklessly ignoring the danger.
There is some irony to this series, because however hard they rock, the riders will, of course, be staying in the same place, including the one out in front, who thinks he has won.
This sculpture is made of bronze and mounted on a beautiful base made of Portland stone. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
