Clare Christie
2025
Bronze
Clare Christie, artist, and Clint Howard, foundryman, are lifelong horse trainers and ranchers whose familiarity with their subject is apparent. This bronze sculpture of a horse mid-buck expresses the dynamism and energy of an animal in motion. Christie states that the sculpture emphasizes “the horse’s energy and breaks it down to the essence of the beauty of that motion.” The artist’s characteristic gestural, linear style creates shapes and voids across the sculpture’s surface as light changes throughout the day.
Project managed and produced by Clint Howard of Pyrology Foundry and Studio.
Nic Nicosia
2024
Bronze
Nic Nicosia’s bronze sculpture, a big thank you, presents a larger-than-life human figure, taking an exaggerated bow. The posture is difficult to interpret, seeming both theatrical and performative, but also expressing humility and grace. Nicosia states that he hopes viewers make connections between the sculpture and activities in the nearby Recreational Sports building. He hopes the sculpture calls to mind the strength, beauty of motion, and performance of an athlete.
Nic Nicosia lives and works in Dallas, Texas. He is considered a pioneer of the staged photographic movement prominent in the early 1980’s but has increasingly turned to sculpture in his artistic practice, bringing the figures of his photographs into three-dimensional space. Nicosia’s work is included in the collections of The Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Whitney Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The Nasher Sculpture Center, The Dallas Museum of Art, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and The Contemporary Austin, among others.
