Encountering a number of her sculptures within a short period prompted me to revisit her work and respond to it through painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p2\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 15px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eAs birds are a recurring subject in my work, replacing the horse with a chicken felt like a natural response. The chicken has been painted more realistically, particularly in the face, creating a contrast with the simplified treatment of the rider. I have also altered the scale to allow a full-grown man to ride the chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p2\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 15px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eWhile the painting references and acknowledges Frink’s work, Man On Horse, in Bond Street, London, it is intended as my own interpretation rather than a reproduction. The inclusion of the chicken introduces an element of humour, and I hope the work is playful while remaining respectful to the original sculpture and to Frink’s legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p2\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; min-height: 15px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eOil paint on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eDimensions 49cm x 53cm \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eFramed, wooden tray frame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anna Lockwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63965636755833,"sku":null,"price":13181.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/5113\/0364\/files\/dPk8eDoBY8.jpg?v=1783952110","url":"https:\/\/sotamarketplace.co\/en-cn\/products\/ode-to-elisabeth-frink-man-riding-chicken","provider":"SOTA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
