14.000 €
This sculpture takes the series’ foundational concept—a wooden horse transformed into a feeding trough. Designed with a constructivist approach, this piece is a testament to the evolution of artistic form. This sculpture embodies a dynamic, tense structure where the horse’s form is no longer static or unified.

Artwork Information
Year: 2017
Materials: Wood with resin pigment
Autenthification: The artwork comes with a Certification of Authenticity signed by the artist
Series: The Inverted FeedThe Inverted Feed series explores a profound reversal of form and function through wooden sculptures that merge the familiar with the fantastical. Each piece represents a horse that is simultaneously a feeding trough, subverting traditional roles and expectations.
By transforming the trough—traditionally an object of sustenance for the horse—into the horse itself, which consumes from its own belly, the series challenges perceptions of utility and aesthetics.
The sculptures contrast the slender delicacy of the horse’s form with the typically robust nature of wooden objects. This juxtaposition of the thin, almost fragile body against the traditional thickness of wood highlights the tension between function and art.
