Clive Fredriksson, Vulture, hand painted wood and plaster sculpture, vulture, on metal-bound barrel type stand, Unique, 68cm high

Vulture by Clive Fredriksson is a commanding, large-scale sculpture that captures the raw presence and watchful intensity of this powerful bird. Perched atop a distinctive metal-bound, barrel-style stand, the figure conveys a sense of stillness and authority, as though pausing mid-observation. The elevated presentation enhances its sculptural impact, making it a striking focal point within any interior space.

Handcrafted from wood and plaster, the vulture is carefully modelled to emphasise its characteristic form. From the curve of the hooked beak to the hunched posture and folded wings. The surface is hand painted, with layered tones and subtle textural detailing that bring depth and realism to the piece. while still retaining the expressive, slightly abstracted quality that defines Fredriksson’s work.

The contrast between the organic sculpted bird and the industrial character of the metal-bound stand adds visual interest, reinforcing the artist’s signature approach of blending natural subjects with reclaimed or utilitarian elements. This interplay of materials gives the sculpture both a rustic and contemporary edge, making it versatile across a range of interior styles.

As a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork, this piece reflects Clive Fredriksson’s imaginative use of materials and his ability to infuse personality into sculptural form. Ideal for collectors of statement artworks or those drawn to bold, nature-inspired design, it offers both scale and character in equal measure.
