Bi-Polar Express II by Alex Davies, Bronze, 177 cm high, 236 cm wide, and 62 cm deep, Signed by the artist and cast from limited edition of three,
Bi-Polar Express II by Alex Davies is a monumental bronze sculpture that captivates both with its scale and its striking subject. It commands attention wherever it is displayed, whether indoors or outdoors.
The sculpture depicts a powerful bird of prey. Yet, it wears a falconer’s hood and remains tethered with a lead. This contrast immediately evokes themes of dominance, control, and the delicate balance between freedom and restraint. By transforming a traditional falconry motif into a contemporary statement, Davies presents a bird that is simultaneously dignified and unsettling, majestic yet vulnerable.
Furthermore, the bronze surface is meticulously worked. Rich patinas accentuate the feather textures and highlight the taut, coiled energy within the form. The sweeping wingspan emphasizes the bird’s grandeur, while the hood and lead serve as reminders of humanity’s impulse to control even the wildest creatures.
Through Bi-Polar Express II, Davies creates tension between beauty and captivity, strength and fragility. In addition, the sculpture encourages viewers to consider broader questions of power, submission, and our complex relationship with nature. Thus, the piece transcends its physical presence, becoming a meditation on freedom itself.
