Description
In Warrior Horse Head Maquette, Waites presents the horse’s head as a symbol of strength. Angled downward, the head conveys focus and energy, as though poised between motion and stillness. The modelling is bold yet controlled. Subtle variations in patina animate the surface, enhancing the sense of weight and presence. By isolating the head, Waites allows the viewer to engage directly with expression and form, free from narrative distraction. This maquette offers a powerful insight into the artist’s approach to equine sculpture, balancing classical authority with a contemporary sensibility.
