BLACK HORSES (S)

Horses, which are dynamic and lively creatures, have remained close to humans from the very beginning and can be considered to be an indispensable part of humanity. A sense of boldness and intense energy are portrayed in the horses' courageous eyes, its explosive muscles, its mane that waves wildly in the wind, and the expression of its form that is about to race forward at any moment. The horse is given a vivid touch thanks to the use of wood carved from logs. Other parts of the horse, such as its mane and tail flapping in the wind, as well as the rock which it is strongly standing on with it hind legs, are adorned with the light of mother-of-pearl. The process of completing the artwork by binding the fine pieces of mother-of-pearl one by one shines ever more brilliantly and exquisitely when more time is spent on the art of fine handicraft.

말은 인류와 함께 해왔다고 할만큼 오랜 시간 인간과 가까이 하며, 역동적이고 생기가 넘치는 존재이다. 도전적인 눈빛, 터질 듯한 근육, 바람에 휘날리는 갈기, 당장이라도 앞으로 달려나갈 것 같은 형상은 과감하며 에너지가 넘쳐흐른다. 통나무를 깎아 만든 조각은 생동감을 주며, 바람에 흩날리는 갈기와 꼬리, 두 발로 힘있게 서있는 바위 등은 자개의 빛으로 장식했다. 실처럼 가느다란 자개선을 하나하나 붙여 완성하는 과정은 오랜 수공예의 시간과 비례하여 섬세하고 더욱 영롱하게 빛난다.
