Description: This striking 20th-century folk art metal sculpture, Lucky Horse, captures the spirit of handmade ingenuity and imaginative design. Forged from sheet metal and shaped with confident, expressive lines, the horse stands in a proud, forward-moving stance that suggests strength, optimism, and quiet motion. The artist’s use of curled metal forms through the body adds a playful sense of rhythm, balancing solidity with whimsy, while the simplified head and elongated legs give the figure a distinctly modern folk aesthetic.
The surface bears subtle variations and texture from the working of the metal, reinforcing its handcrafted character and individuality. Both sculptural and symbolic, Lucky Horse reflects the long tradition of folk artists using humble materials to create objects imbued with meaning and charm. It is a compelling statement piece that brings warmth, personality, and a sense of good fortune to any collection.
