Duck on Goat, Quentin Clemence, Copper, Unique piece. 190 cm (H) × 150 cm (W) × 75 cm (D)
Duck on Goat is a bold and eccentric sculpture by British artist Quentin Clemence. Made entirely from copper, this unique piece features a fantastical creature with the head of a duck perched atop a full-sized goat. The composition is surreal, humorous, and deliberately puzzling, challenging the viewer’s expectations and sparking the imagination.
The duck-faced figure sits with an air of purpose, as though on a mission only it understands. Its upright posture and curious gaze contrast sharply with the grounded, steady presence of the goat. This unusual pairing creates a scene that feels both absurd and strangely believable, as if pulled from a forgotten fable or a dream.
Clemence’s sculptural style celebrates the strange and the surreal. He often draws from mythology, folklore, and fantasy, blending familiar animal forms with imaginative twists. In Duck on Goat, he plays with scale, proportion, and personality to create a work that is as much a character study as it is a sculpture.
The natural patina of the copper gives the piece warmth and texture, while the hand-crafted detailing brings life to both creatures. Despite its humorous tone, the craftsmanship is serious, carefully balanced, finely finished, and full of expressive charm.
At nearly two meters tall, Duck on Goat commands attention. Whether placed in a landscaped garden, sculpture park, or contemporary art setting, it draws smiles, questions, and admiration. It invites the viewer to pause, wonder, and enjoy the unexpected.
