Little Falls, NY June 4, 2006 - OK Galleries presents THE TROJAN HORSE - Gift of Epeus, a bronze horse by sculptor Tage Sprague. The exhibition opens Sunday, June 4th 1:00 PM on the second floor of the factory art space "Shops at 25 West Mill St. in Historic Canal Place" Little Falls, NY and continues through June 2006.

A futuristic divination of the classical horse's power and grace, THE TROJAN HORSE bronze is a pedestal sculpture of breathtaking, mirror-finished forms into which its audience can view their reflection and contemplate.

A self-taught artist Sprague says art is the expression of spirit, and as a Saratoga, NY native born to an equestrian family, Sprague deeply understands the greatness of the horse. "The Trojan horse is not capturable. No matter the angle you view the horse, the reflected light moving in the intricacies of the sculpted metal entrances with its ever-changing forms," says Sprague.

Sprague's commitment to the spiritual intensity of his art is apparent, for unlike many, Sprague performs all of the phases in the creation of a bronze sculpture: from clay modeling, mold making and pouring wax, to casting and finishing high-polished bronze metal.

Sprague and OK Galleries invite the public to celebrate THE TROJAN HORSE's unveiling with a gallery opening, Sunday June 4th, 1:00-5:00 PM. Free admission, refreshments, jazz by the Chris Early Trio, and a book signing by historian A.J. Berry are a few of many events complementing THE TROJAN HORSE's opening festivity.

OK Galleries is open daily from 10:00-5:00 pm, at the "Shops at 25 West Mill St. in Historic Canal Place" Little Falls, NY.
