This contemporary figurative sculpture adorns the "Croix d'Anzin" tramway station on line T2. It depicts an acephalous goddess seated astride a horse.
The work is by artist Kobé, the artistic pseudonym of Jacques Saelens, a world-famous Belgian sculptor. He created his own style of sculpture, fashioning instantly recognizable figures. Two themes dominated his creations: the female figure in all its simplicity and mystery, and the horse as a symbol of strength, camaraderie and connection.
