A monumental sculptural work by Canadian artist David Altmejd, *The Mare and the Path* brings together an eclectic array of industrial and humble materials—plaster, burlap, MDF, polystyrene, expandable foam, and latex paint—to conjure a richly textured, otherworldly form contained within the artist's own custom frame. Altmejd's signature fusion of organic and synthetic elements evokes a sense of metamorphosis and raw biological energy, blurring the boundaries between sculpture and painting, the constructed and the living. The work reflects his ongoing fascination with transformation, bodily states, and the generative potential hidden within matter itself.
