April Shepherd is
an established British sculptor producing highly expressive works
exploring movement and the natural world. Her sensitive yet
unsentimental animal studies have won her considerable acclaim,
with the horse in particular being her main subject matter. Her
concepts are often enriched by her love of literature, folklore
and mythology. April’s smoke fired horse series explores the idea
of weightlessness; that through the expression of extreme and
spontaneous movement, even a brawny animal like the horse can defy
its intrinsic earthbound nature. Employing a variety of media
including clay, bronze and resin, April attempts to push the
boundaries of the materials she uses. |
