Do Re Me Fa Sol La Si Do

The name of a new sculpture installation outside the Calgary Courthouse by Saskatchewan sculptor Joe Fafard. The identical sculptures are installed in Quebec City. There are eight different horses with a variety of themes and images contained within each piece. With the city as a backdrop, these are amazing urban art.

these are brilliant sculptures and I like how you took them. It's like the horses are ghosts

They are interesting sculptures to be sure. I don't remember JAS showing us all of them but I remember that second one. Very cool set.

Cool set, Mike! When we were on art walk, we also saw some smaller Fafard work at Master's Art Gallery. Bambi, in a way they are like ghosts. Each horse carries a bit of history inside him, but they also carry the present and the future.

They are awesome sculptures!!!

Nice sculptures, great pictures, well done.

Awesome artwork. Love the way you captured the last shot especially. Love the comp.

Sculptures are WAY cool - 8 is my fave as well because the background works so well w/the subject. (I was just in calgary so i know how hard it is to isolate the gorgeous statues/artwork there.)

That is a cool set. My favourite would be the last one.

Thanks so much for the comments. The horses really grew on me as I sorted out the pictures I had taken and decided which ones to process, and then which ones to share. It was only at that point that I looked into the artist's bio and found the name of the installation. I also thought it would be interesting to light paint or use flash at night with the textures and colors. Some other time perhaps.
