Kovalčík Adam
Unicorn, 2024
45 x 38 x 20 cm
acrylic, steel
Unicorn will be exhibited at ART PRAGUE 2024
Once upon a time in the Middle Ages, a narwhal tooth was supposedly found, thought to be the horn of a unicorn and therefore proof of their existence. It should be added that at that time the unicorn was not associated with horses, as it is today, back then it could be any animal with one horn.
The sculpture juxtaposes the figure of a horse and a narwhal so that at a certain angle the tooth of the cetacean gives the impression of being the horn of a unicorn horse. A. K.
