Buzzard by John Cox, Bronze, 50cm high, 100cm wide, 35cm deep
Buzzard by John Cox is a life-size bronze sculpture that offers a highly realistic portrayal of one of the UK’s most recognisable birds of prey. Measuring 50 cm high, 100 cm wide, and 35 cm deep. The sculpture captures the true scale and presence of a buzzard, making it feel authentic and grounded in nature.
Cast in bronze, the work benefits from the material’s strength and longevity. The artist has recorded the fine detail. Cox uses these qualities to great effect, carefully rendering the bird’s muscular form, layered feathers, and the tension held in its wings. The bronze surface enhances these details, emphasising both the power and elegance of the buzzard.
The bird is shown in a dynamic, naturalistic pose with its wings fully spread and talons extended forward. This suggests a moment just before landing or seizing prey, conveying movement and energy rather than stillness. The sense of motion gives the sculpture vitality and draws the viewer’s attention to the buzzard’s precision and strength as a predator.
Designed for outdoor display, Buzzard can be mounted onto a branch using rods fitted into its feet. When placed in a natural setting, this feature enhances the realism of the piece. Thus allowing the bird to appear as though it is genuinely perched or descending through the air.
Overall, the sculpture captures the intensity and grace of flight, celebrating the buzzard’s commanding presence. The combination of accurate proportions, detailed craftsmanship, and dynamic composition creates a powerful representation of this majestic bird of prey
