The Gallery's Perspective
There’s a sense of wind and motion caught in stillness here: the translucent horse’s head seems to lean forward while a bronze-toned figure tucks into the curve beneath, her hair and garments swept as if by a passing gust. The contrast between the frosted, glass-like horse and the warmly patinated woman creates a companionable tension — cool clarity against the human presence of flesh and color. Small details, like the feather at the horse’s bridle and the turquoise beads at the woman’s throat, give the piece personality and cultural specificity without overwhelming the composition. Overall it feels both protective and free: the horse’s calm profile and the woman’s steady, slightly uplifted face suggest companionship and forward movement. It’s a sculptural conversation about pace, partnership, and the quiet power of travel together.

Christopher Pardell began sculpting at the tender age of four, and by his teenage years, Pardell had come to the realization that sculpting was to become his life's work. Influenced by the work of renowned sculptors Russell, Remington and Rodin, Pardell wanted to pursue his passion for realism. His formal education was laid aside in favor of an apprentice moldmaker position with a commercial statuary company, and it was there that he received what he considers to be his "real education in art."
As an apprentice to the Italian master artisans who ran the statuary, Christopher rapidly learned the skills that would enable him to excel as an artist and earn the stature that has come with his success. Never sketching his designs on paper, Christopher composes all of his work in three dimensions, in a maquette. This unique approach explains the unparalleled beauty and detail that are the trademarks of his work. Christophers exceptional style and special talent have served to impress even the most discriminating collector.
Currently, his artwork can be found in public and private collections throughout the world
