We were astounded by the physicality of the Roman horse head sculpture we stumbled upon the other night at Rogue Classicism. Every inch describes a muscular, powerful force in a style that's so realistic, it's almost stylized. Not surprisingly, we loved it, and were reminded of a favorite sculptor of ours, Beth Cavener Stichter. She too has the seemingly innate gift of capturing fluid, liquid-like movement in her realistic animal sculptures. Of course, there's much more than the obvious virtuosity of the sculpture, see for yourself...
