Shark by Len Jones, Bronze, Wood, Signed and Numbered 7/50, 17cm high by 20.5cm wide by 10cm deep, Fish, Water Creatures sculpture

This piece by Len Jones is a signed and numbered bronze and wood sculpture. The piece depicts a shark suspended above a wooden base, capturing the fluid grace of the creature in motion.

The shark is mounted on a pole, lifting it into the air and giving the impression it glides effortlessly through water. Its body tilts slightly downward, head leading and mouth open, conveying both alertness and energy. The smooth, rounded form emphasizes its sleek, powerful shape.

Jones polished the bronze to enhance the natural browns of the metal, allowing light to reflect across the shark’s curves. This finish highlights the contours and gives the piece a lifelike presence despite its abstracted simplicity.

The wooden base grounds the sculpture while providing contrast. Its solid form complements the polished bronze and anchors the dynamic figure. The combination of bronze and wood creates a balance between motion and stability.

Shark celebrates elegance, energy, and form. The elevated position, smooth finish, and subtle tilt convey motion, strength, and the predator’s fluid grace. The piece draws viewers’ attention from every angle, transforming a fleeting moment in nature into a compact and visually striking sculpture.
