The form and physical strength of an ox can directly be attributed to benefit our society and where we live.
As a well reputed figure in traditional Chinese culture, the ox symbolises determination and steadiness – always prepared to face and overcome any given challenge. “Formidable Strength” portrays an ox that is frozen in motion - giving a sense that it is still, yet charging with vigour in full speed.
Bronze as a medium brings out a fresh and rustic quality from within, enhancing the artist’s gestural marks across the figure’s body and emphasising it’s vigorous, powerful and imposing characteristics of “Formidable Strength”. Embellished in gold, the pair of horns act as a way to protect and bless all living creatures.
