Geoffrey Key (1941-), "Trojan", signed and dated '86 on the base, bronze sculpture, 24in(W) x 24in(H) x 12in(D). * Geoffrey Key's mastery of form is most readily seen in his figures and horses. These works reveal his skill and ease of expression as a draughtsman, painter and sculptor. Through his handling of line, tone and colour, and stripping away the superfluous in the imagery, he interprets and reveals the essence of his subject with certainty and sincerity. Trojan is so much more than an illustration of a horse - it is imbued with powerful meaning. Far from a simple representation, it is a manifestation of strength, movement, balance and harmony, all captured as if suspended in the essential of the moment. Artists' Resale Right ("droit de suite") may apply to this lot.
