Nimrod Messeg's sculpture "Artax" emerges as a testament to the harmonious convergence of ancient craftsmanship and contemporary artistry. Crafted from iron, the sculpture portrays a horse rearing in a dynamic stance. Messeg's meticulous approach involves employing over a thousand individual pieces of metal, uniting ancient forging techniques, welding, power hammering, and plasma torch work. These methods give birth to an exceptional interplay of textures, effects, and shapes, resulting in sculptures that are not only captivating but also uniquely characterized by their style and appearance. "Artax" captures the essence of movement frozen in time, an embodiment of strength and grace wrought from the fusion of time-honored techniques and artistic innovation.
