John Brus
Horse, 1993 - 2002, concrete, height: 1.30 m
"... A bit apart stands the grazing horse, which seems to adapt quite naturally to its surroundings between grass, trees and bushes. Exposed to the natural weather, it is overgrown with moss and small creatures such as snails and beetles make their way around. This is made possible by the fact that the sculpture is constantly changing due to the changing environment - depending on the season, the work stands free in a clearing or is almost completely swallowed up by the lush vegetation Concrete piece almost an organic part of nature. ..."
