"Bodo’s Balancing Act"
Ceramic Sculpture by Martin LaBorde
Whimsical, unexpected, and unmistakably Martin LaBorde, Bodo’s Balancing Act captures Bodo in a wonderfully playful moment—performing a daring one-handed handstand atop a brilliant yellow pony.
Full of movement and personality, the sculpture transforms an impossible balancing act into a joyful expression of imagination. Bodo’s precarious pose, paired with the spirited yellow pony beneath him, reflects the humor, fantasy, and sense of wonder that have long defined LaBorde’s celebrated world of Bodo.
Bodo’s Balancing Act is produced in a limited edition of only 25 sculptures. While each sculpture originates from LaBorde’s original design, every piece is individually painted and glazed, creating subtle variations in color, detail, and character. From creation through the final glaze, each stage of the process is personally overseen and approved by Mr. LaBorde, ensuring that every finished sculpture reflects his artistic vision and receives his final sign-off. No two are exactly alike.
