The horse has inspired art since time immemorial. From the earliest cave drawings through Greek and Roman equestrian statues to Napoleon on horseback to finally arrive at Maurizio Cattelan’s stuffed ceiling horses. The noble animal is companion and muse for many. So too for Brigitte Boss. Her bronze sculptures focus on the animal’s movement and use a special patina to approximate the skin of a horse stretched tightly around its muscles. Brigitte is self-taught and averse to the conventions found in this genre. No pedestals, no static poses and above all: look closely and sculpt.

Life-size sculptures and miniatures.

Her life-size sculptures and miniatures stand out for their vividness of movement and unusual skin. The surface of these sculptures is whimsical and wrought, as seen in the great Impressionist sculptors. She seeks the inspiration and devotion to both nature and art as one can find in artists like Franz Marc and Medardo Rosso. They too sought a representation of their subject beyond what one thinks one sees. A making process that demonstrates a carefully constructed, empathetic relationship to what is to be captured in the sculpture. Sculptures that are not conceived but that almost manifest themselves from motor memory and subconscious knowledge about the subject before the eye of the maker. Work that contains a piece of the soul of both the person portrayed and the maker.

Careful and empathetic making process.

By explicitly showing this careful and empathetic making process in the skin of the final cast sculpture, work is created with a certain sense of momentum. You can feel the muscle tension and follow the expression. These animals really stand on their legs. Brigitte’s thumbs are in the folds of the skin and the anatomy follows that of the horse portrayed in detail. In doing so, she wants to honour what, in her view, is one of the most important characteristics of the animal. The horse is constantly in motion and communicates its own complex personality mainly through body language. Brigitte understands much of this language and knows how to approach the character and essence of an animal in her sculptures.

This makes her work very popular with horse lovers worldwide. Sculptures by her hand can be found in the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, England, Sweden, Denmark, the United States, Brazil, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Germany.

With a working method that treats its chosen subject with such integrity, a suitable presentation spot also belongs. The Brigitte Boss Museum – a converted horse stable, garden and studio – is at the heart of TAK Art Space

Custom-made works of art.

Every sculpture by Brigitte Boss is custom-made, focusing on personal wishes and the unique personality of the animal. From imposing, life-size sculptures to smaller, intimate portraits, her art fits perfectly in any setting.

For anyone looking for art that brings together strength, elegance and emotional depth, Brigitte Boss offers an unforgettable experience and a work of art that stands the test of time.
