EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of Elisabeth Frink's iconic sculpture, "Horse and Rider" located in the heart of Mayfair, London. The image, expertly captured by photographer Chris Redgrave in 2015, showcases the sculpture from a unique south-east perspective. Against the backdrop of Dover Street and Piccadilly, this post-war masterpiece stands as a testament to Frink's artistic prowess. The horse and rider are frozen in motion, their forms exuding strength and grace. The powerful bond between man and beast is palpable as they seem to effortlessly navigate through space. The monochromatic tones lend an air of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing both the classical nature of the sculpture itself and its enduring relevance within modern society. Frink's ability to capture movement within stillness is truly remarkable; every muscle seems alive with energy. Redgrave's skilled composition highlights not only the sculpture but also its surroundings - bustling streets filled with life yet seemingly untouched by time. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that art has an uncanny ability to transcend eras while remaining firmly rooted in its historical context. As we gaze upon this striking image, we cannot help but be drawn into Frink's world - a world where equestrian power meets human vulnerability. It is a visual feast for those who appreciate artistry at its finest – an invitation to contemplate our own relationship with nature and our place within it.
