Artwork location: Portugal

In the heart of artistic innovation and craftsmanship stands an emblem of strength, perseverance, and raw energy. Behold the Charging Bull, a testament to the fusion of creativity and resilience, meticulously crafted with 21,000 nails and 600 meters of rope meticulously intertwined to bestow dimension upon its form. Each nail, a symbol of endurance, driven with purpose; each strand of rope, a metaphor for the interconnectedness of determination and artistry.

Standing tall and proud, this unique masterpiece transcends the ordinary, captivating onlookers with its sheer magnitude and intricate detailing. Every curve and contour, meticulously sculpted by skilled hands, breathes life into the inert medium. It is a symphony of metal and fiber, echoing the spirit of the untamed beast it represents.

But what truly sets the Charging Bull apart is its resilience—its ability to endure the test of time and transcend the limitations of its materiality. Overlaid with a coat of epoxy, it stands as a symbol of invincibility against the elements, a testament to the indomitable spirit inherent in both creator and creation.

As one gazes upon this masterpiece, they are invited to contemplate the essence of strength and fortitude. The Charging Bull embodies the unwavering determination to overcome obstacles, to charge forward with unwavering resolve, despite the adversities that may arise.

In a world where challenges abound and uncertainties loom large, the Charging Bull stands as a beacon of hope—a reminder that within each of us lies the power to forge our own path, to overcome obstacles, and to emerge triumphant. It is a celebration of resilience, a tribute to the human spirit, and an enduring symbol of courage in the face of adversity.

Imagine it at home

Ben Koracevic, Charging bull
United Kingdom  • 1992

Presentation

Stringometry Art studio was created in 2019 by artist Ben Koracevic after discovering the unusual medium of String Art in a video. Instantly, he was hooked. Always one to find enjoyment in creating and coupled with his vast experience working with various metals, woods, carbon fibre, fibreglass, epoxy resins and fillers, he seized a new challenge to reinvent the world of string art.


This new challenge soon became an obsession that evolved into a love affair over the months that followed. Whilst working a full-time job and completing his Degree in Science in his spare time, Ben somehow found another 30+ hours a week to practice and experiment with different nails and a variety of strings.


Naturally when a passion consumes your life, you want more, so in August of 2019 he made the  decision to quit his day job, cash in his life savings and pursue his true calling as an artist. This change empowered him to spend 70+ hours a week in his studio, honing his craft, perfecting  techniques and began to create something truly exquisite.


Less than two years later Ben's artwork has been displayed in exhibitions across London and has been received with incredible admiration and respect for the unique nature of his work. Stringometry Art Studio has sold his works across the world in three continents and is committed to support Ben as he pushes the boundaries of this rare art form.


In Ben's words “art is a universal language where the work does all the talking, I hope mine speaks for itself."
