Born to Run by Chelsea Renton, Bronze, From an edition of 9, 38 cm (H) x 28 cm (W)

Born to Run is a charming and spirited bronze sculpture by Chelsea Renton, capturing the delicate strength and youthful energy of a newborn foal. Standing tall on long, spindly legs, the foal lifts its head high with a sense of alertness and instinctive pride—embodying both vulnerability and emerging confidence.

Renton’s treatment of the bronze surface is rich with texture, lending the sculpture a tactile and expressive quality. The rough, organic finish enhances the sense of motion and life, reflecting the raw beauty of a creature only just discovering its feet. The proportions, slightly exaggerated in the legs and stance, emphasize the foal’s fragility while hinting at the speed and power it will one day possess.

Though modest in scale, Born to Run exudes presence. Whether viewed in profile or from above, the sculpture reveals new angles of strength, balance, and potential. The piece speaks to the miracle of life and movement in its earliest form, making it an evocative addition to any equine or wildlife art collection.

Ideal for collectors who appreciate textured bronzes, animal studies, or works that celebrate youth and vitality, Born to Run reflects Renton’s deep sensitivity to both form and spirit.
