Bears, Bronze Resin, Edition Signed Joe, Edition, 28cm high by 18cm wide by 15cm deep, Animals and Birds sculpture

This piece by Joe is a bronze resin sculpture it depicts two bears climbing a twisting tree branch together.

The bears differ slightly in size, with the smaller one gripping the branch firmly with paws and feet. The larger bear follows behind, holding onto the smaller one gently. The branch rises and spreads outward, supporting both bears and adding movement to the composition.

The sculptor balances realism with subtle abstraction. Each bear shows textured fur and natural curves, yet the surface retains an expressive, slightly stylized quality. Smooth, polished areas contrast with the rougher textures, emphasizing the tactile form.

The bronze resin finish highlights natural variations in colour, with warm golden tones blending into deeper, darker shades. Light reflects across the polished surfaces, accentuating the animals’ forms and the twisting branch.

The composition conveys a sense of play, cooperation, and shared effort. The upward movement of the branch and the positioning of the animals creates energy and visual rhythm.

Bears captures both realism and artistic interpretation. It blends detailed observation with dynamic form, giving the figures life while keeping the overall effect elegant and approachable. The piece demonstrates skill in both sculpture and material, making it a striking miniature tableau of wildlife in motion.
