Zhang Yaxi - Contemporary Chinese Sculptor
"Horses & Riders" Sculpture in India - 2010

In 2010, Chinese sculptor Zhang Yaxi was invited to represent China at an international sculpture symposium in Gwalior, India where she created an equestrian sculpture installation - a  horse and rider grouping (4 horses and 4 riders). This monumental, contemporary sculpture installation is in steel, painted in situ.

The grouping is playful in its simplicity, with a stylized and almost naive rendering of the forms, yet it is also poignant: two adult riders in conversation, with two young riders flanking them on either side create a powerful tableau.
