Godiva

Godiva is a poetic horse and rider sculpture inspired by the legendary story of Lady Godiva a woman known for her bravery, compassion, and quiet rebellion. Created by UK sculptor Ollie Holman, this piece reimagines the tale through a minimalist, contemporary lens.

The original was sculpted in wax, with this plaster edition preserving the subtlety and intimacy of the form. Rather than aiming for historical realism, Godiva captures the emotional essence of the moment, a nude figure, calm and composed, riding a horse that bows in gentle solidarity. It’s a tribute to quiet courage, human dignity, and the bond between horse and rider.

With flowing lines and understated strength, this figurative sculpture is ideal for collectors of equestrian art or as a storytelling piece for interior display. Godiva invites reflection and offers a timeless symbol of inner strength through simplicity and form.
