Carmichael Chrome Horse


Artist Sean Guerrero's latest piece of art portrays Ben Ali the 1886 Kentucky Derby winner that lived most of his life at a 44,000-acre horse ranch north of the American River that stretched from what is now Northgate Boulevard on the west to Manzanita Avenue on the east in Carmichael, Ca.
Sean Guerrero grew up in Colorado, in the Denver area. Early on he realized that he had the ability to create sculptures from recycled materials such as wood, steel and plastic. Once Sean discovered the unique opportunities of working with chrome plated steel, taken from old automobile bumpers, it became his preferred medium. His work varies in theme from science fiction, fantasy, nature, to functional.
Pretty cool!
