Running Hare by Sarah Lewington, Bronze, Edition of 12, 28cm high by 51cm wide by 13cm deep, Animal, Hare, Wildlife, Nature sculpture

Running Hare by Sarah Lewington captures speed and grace in a single, fluid moment. This bronze sculpture, part of an edition of twelve, measures 28cm high, 51cm wide, and 13cm deep. Its form is minimalistic yet full of life. The hare leaps forward, frozen mid-stride. Its front legs stretch out, back legs push off, still suspended in the air.

Mounted on a simple slab, the piece feels grounded yet weightless at the same time. The sleek bronze lines trace the hare’s lean body, hinting at every muscle and tendon. Light glides across its polished surface, emphasizing the flow of movement. Each angle reveals a new sense of momentum.

Sarah Lewington’s choice to pare back detail makes the energy even stronger. There are no distractions—just pure motion. The hare becomes an idea rather than just an animal. It suggests freedom, swiftness, and the fleeting nature of wildness.

Moreover, the contrast between the hare’s dynamic pose and the still, solid base anchors the sculpture in reality. Yet, the piece always pulls the eye forward, inviting the viewer to imagine the next bound. One moment it’s still, the next it’s off again.

Running Hare brings a wild spirit into any space. Its simplicity is its power—a single leap captured forever, a reminder of nature’s unstoppable energy and the quiet beauty of movement in bronze form.
