Joe Fafard’s “Cold Lake” series consists of eleven patinated bronze sculptures, each depicting a horse or horses of various ages, breeds and colours. As evidenced with this striking quarter horse, the sculptures in this series initially appear to be animals with bodies that are fully modelled, the sculptures give only the illusion of three-dimensionality, as they are compressed and their backs are hollow. “Cold Lake #7” demonstrate Fafard’s ongoing interest in playing with form, perspective and three-dimensional space.
