Linda Monk, Landing Hare, Bronze, Signed, 52cm high, 80cm wide, 30cm deep
Landing Hare by Linda Monk offers a lively interpretation of one of nature’s most energetic creatures. Monk captures a hare in an instant of dynamic motion, sculpting it as if it has just leapt forward and is landing lightly on its front paw. The sculpture measures 52 cm high, 80 cm wide, and 30 cm deep, creating an impressive sense of scale that mirrors the animal’s natural athleticism. Rather than freezing the moment rigidly, Monk conveys a continuation of movement, as though the hare might spring forward again at any second.
Cast in bronze and signed by the artist, the sculpture invites viewers to admire both its physical presence and its expressive energy. The hare’s elongated body stretches forward, while its hind legs remain high in the air, emphasizing the dramatic arc of its leap. Its ears angle back as though caught by the wind of its own momentum, and the front paw touches the ground with a careful, almost weightless precision. This finely observed gesture reveals Monk’s deep connection to wildlife, as well as her ability to translate motion into sculptural form.
Furthermore, the bronze surface adds texture and tonal depth, enhancing the animal’s muscular form and natural grace. Light plays across the sculpture’s surface, highlighting the subtle modelling of fur, limbs, and the taut stretch of the body in action. Monk’s choice of bronze ensures that the piece carries both durability and elegance, bridging timeless craft with modern dynamism.
Landing Hare stands as a celebration of instinct, speed, and the lively spirit of the natural world. Through detailed modelling and captivating movement, Monk transforms a fleeting moment into a powerful and enduring work of art.
