Statuette "Growling Bear (large)"

We are proud to offer you a magnificent, large sculpture of a bear crafted by the renowned British sculptor, Alfred Turner (1874-1940). Hailed as one of the leading creative masters of his time and a notable member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, Turner’s artwork is coveted for its extraordinary presence, originality, and timeless appeal.

This unique masterpiece measures about 38 cm and weighs around 7.6 kg. Fashioned with meticulous understanding and an appreciation of sculptural forms and spaces, the artwork is a true symbol of artistic interpretations that break all traditional confines. What truly makes it standout is its original plasticity. Instead of focusing on minute details, the sculpture exhibits large strokes, invoking an effect of rough hand modelling - a style that is tremendously popular today in the field of art and sculpture.

An essential appeal of Turner's art lies in the simplicity and clarity of his vision which merely employs a few broad strokes to create an impressionistic imagery, skillfully built up through a series of carefully controlled, and often serendipitous, processes. Because of this unique style, his work captures the spirit, vigor, and delightful menace of the creature, presenting an unparalleled visual feast for art enthusiasts.

In its most glorious form, the bear stands tall, proud, and undeniably recognizable, powerfully commanding the viewer’s attention. This combination of simple modeling techniques with an extremely dynamic subject reflects Turner's genius, making the work a distinguished example from his oeuvre. Acquiring this bear sculpture is an opportunity to add an extraordinary piece to your collection, whether you are an ardent art collector, a historian, or simply an admirer of stunning aesthetic beauty.
