The Man Who Would Be King by Alex Davies, Bronze gilded in gold on a steel base, Unique, 77cm (on Plinth) high by 74cm wide by 32cm deep, Ram, Goat, Sheep
The Man Who Would Be King by Alex Davies is a unique bronze sculpture gilded in gold, standing 77 cm high on its plinth, 74 cm wide, and 32 cm deep. The piece depicts a striking goat’s head mounted on a wide black triangular steel base. Its forward-facing gaze conveys presence and quiet authority.
The goat’s horns curve outward before spiralling at the tips, creating a dramatic silhouette. Sculpted long fur along the head and neck adds mass and texture, giving the creature a sense of strength and vitality. Small hollowed-out eyes enhance the expressive quality, while subtle decorative ridges trace the edges of the form, emphasizing its contours and accentuating the gilded surface.
The triangular base anchors the sculpture, providing stability while highlighting the dynamic upward sweep of the horns. The contrast between the polished gold of the bronze and the matte black steel base enhances the visual impact, drawing attention to the detailed craftsmanship of the animal’s head.
Davies combines naturalism with artistic embellishment, balancing anatomical accuracy with stylized decoration. The intricate fur, spiralled horns, and ridged edges transform the goat into a regal, almost mythical figure. The Man Who Would Be King commands attention through scale, form, and finish. It celebrates texture, light, and presence, making the work both visually captivating and sculpturally compelling in any setting.
