The Devine by Johanna Malin-Davies, Bronze, Edition 3 of 12 , Signed and Numbered, 54cm high by 30cm wide by 17cm deep. Animals and Birds, Classical, Figurative, Horse, Female, Spiritual sculpture

This piece is a compelling bronze sculpture that blends classical figurative style with spiritual symbolism. This signed and numbered artwork is Edition 3 of 12 and measures 54 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. Carefully balanced in scale and form, it makes a powerful statement while remaining visually refined.

The sculpture depicts a nude female figure seated backwards on a walking horse, creating an immediate sense of contrast and movement. As the horse steps forward, it turns its head back toward the woman, responding to her touch as she gently holds its face. This deliberate interaction establishes a moment of trust, connection, and quiet authority. Rather than domination, the relationship between woman and horse suggests harmony and mutual understanding.

Furthermore, the artist skillfully contrasts the horse’s muscular strength with the softness and calm poise of the female form. The bronze medium enhances this balance, allowing light to accentuate texture, line, and anatomical detail. As a result, the sculpture feels both grounded and fluid.

The work is seamlessly built into a bronze plinth, which stabilises the composition and adds a sense of permanence. Overall, The Devine is a spiritual and figurative sculpture exploring unity between human and animal, body and instinct, strength and serenity. It is an evocative and timeless piece well suited to collectors of contemporary bronze sculpture.
