A Horse Called Corona
All of a sudden the world faced Covid and sculptor Jos Dirix made the decision to work with wood during the lockdown. Surprising, considering Dirix’s impressive oeuvre in bronze. A Horse Called Corona grew to be a life-size sculpture, constructed from wood of a linden tree sawn into planks. A horse, paralysed by fear, its legs rigid and tense, its head and neck erect. Dirix's creative urge is also set in bronze. A Horse Called Corona has been cast in bronze in several sizes. Each of these bronze sculptures possess the specific characterizations of the wooden A Horse Called Corona.
