Arkle by Halliday Avray-Wilson (b. 1967), Bronze, Signed Edition 2 of 8, 66 cm high × 68 cm wide × 32 cm deep
Arkle by Halliday Avray-Wilson is a striking bronze sculpture that captures the raw spirit and elegance of a horse in motion. Inspired by the legendary racehorse of the same name, the piece presents an expressive interpretation rather than a purely literal one, leaning toward impressionism in its form and texture.
The horse’s head is sculpted with sweeping lines and bold surfaces that suggest both movement and vitality. Subtle variations in the bronze patina enhance the play of light across the surface, adding depth and drama to the sculpture. The ears, eyes, and powerful jawline convey alertness and strength, while the flowing contours of the mane evoke speed and freedom.
Although rooted in equestrian tradition, Avray-Wilson’s interpretation transforms the horse’s head into a contemporary statement. It balances fine detail with broad, gestural modelling, creating a work that feels alive and dynamic.
As part of a signed, limited edition of just eight casts, Arkle offers both rarity and artistic distinction. It would make an impressive centrepiece in a collection, celebrating the timeless bond between humans and horses while honouring one of racing’s most iconic names.
