"Power Cast in Art" 


Made from SBS brake pads, this is the 'Hornsleth Sculpture' - not just an artwork but a "symbol" according to Christel Munk Pedersen, CSO/ Sales Director at SBS in Denmark - "a symbol of a rider's power, a fighter's spirit and a reminder that cancer spares no one."


Created by Artist Kristian von Hornsleth, and made entirely out of brake pads and steel, this unique piece measures 230 cm wide, by 175 cm high and is 45 cm deep and was created by Kristian in 2024 exclusively for a charity auction that is raising funds for Cancer Research.

Named 'Rallentaria', it is a "sculptural interpretation of the beautiful relationship between the freedom of motorcycle riding and the safety of brake pads. Based on the relationship between a mother and her child, this isn't just an artwork, it is a a reminder that cancer spares no one."


Christel told IDN that anyone joining the online auction "is not only bidding on an exclusive piece of contemporary art. You're standing with the millions of families who have whispered 'I miss you' or cursed 'damn you, cancer' at some stage through their loss.


"Your support turns loss into hope - your bid turns art into action. It is because Cancer doesn't care who you are, it is because Cancer is indiscriminate that this auction matters. Every cent raised from the sale of the 'Hornsleth Sculpture' goes directly to cancer research and related initiatives. Together, we can fuel hope, fund breakthroughs, and give families more time with the people they love.

"When you sign up, you're not only securing a chance to bid on an extraordinary piece of art — you're also joining a community determined to make cancer powerless."
