The Eternal Battle
Medium: Polychrome Bronze and Oxidized Copper
The Eternal Battle is a masterful high-relief sculpture that reimagines the visual language of ancient tapestries—specifically reminiscent of the Bayeux Tapestry—through a modern, three-dimensional lens. This work depicts a frozen moment of medieval-style combat, blending historical warfare with mythological symbolism to create a narrative that feels both ancient and immediate.
The sculpture is defined by its layered, frieze-like composition and a sophisticated palette of warm copper, deep bronze, and verdigris greens.
The artist uses long, clean lines for the spears and horse limbs, which guide the viewer’s eye across the scene in a rhythmic, cinematic flow.
From the “hammered” appearance of the horses’ coats to the fine, repetitive pattern of the chainmail, the sculpture is a tactile journey that rewards close inspection.
The use of chemical patinas to create aged greens and coppers gives the piece the appearance of a relic that has survived centuries, yet the precision of the casting is distinctly contemporary.
“A rhythmic dance of bronze and copper, capturing the thunderous spirit of the charge.”
