Carl Dahl
Cheval Blanc

2021

About the Item

"Cheval Blanc" is a captivating sculpture created by the renowned artist Carl Dahl. Crafted with precision and ingenuity, the sculpture depicts a majestic white horse, meticulously assembled from porcelain with interwoven iron filaments anchoring its various parts together. What sets Dahl apart is his unique ability to recreate sculptures that evoke the rigid expanse of Arizona's desert, his place of origin. The sculpture's distinctive feature lies in its representation of the Arizona desert's harshness, mirroring the arid landscape's unforgiving nature. The fractures within the sculpture serve as poignant reminders of the dryness and aridity of the desert, each crack telling a story of the relentless forces of nature. The incorporation of iron filaments, with their rusted hues, further emphasizes the sculpture's connection to the arid environment. Dahl's masterful touch extends beyond mere representation; it transcends into a symbolic narrative of the desert's essence. The white horse, poised in perfect symmetry, becomes a symbol of resilience amid adversity, embodying the endurance required to navigate the challenging terrain of the artist's homeland.
