Swan Family by Steve Boss, Bronze, Edition 19 of 250, 5cm high by 11cm wide by 5cm deep, Amimals and Birds, Figurative, Water Creatures sculpture
Swan Family by Steve Boss is a charming bronze sculpture set, edition 19 of 250, measuring 5 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. The piece depicts a family of four swans, one adult and three cygnets, presented as separate, individual sculptures that together create a sense of movement and cohesion. Each swan appears as if gracefully gliding across water, with wings tucked neatly to the side and heads held forward.
Boss stylises the forms while maintaining their recognizable shapes. Smooth, flowing curves define the bodies, while subtle sculpting indents add texture and detail. The surface has a playful, almost bubbled effect, featuring overlapping blue circles outlined in white. This decorative treatment enhances the visual interest and gives the set a contemporary, artistic flair. The adult swan carries a hint of orange on its beak, distinguishing it from the smaller cygnets and providing a naturalistic touch amidst the stylisation.
The small size of each piece invites close appreciation, encouraging viewers to notice the nuanced textures and painted patterns. The separate forms allow flexible arrangement, letting the family appear as though swimming in a natural line or interacting more dynamically.
Overall, Swan Family combines realism, stylisation, and decorative artistry. The set captures both the elegance of swans in motion and the warmth of family bonds, offering a refined, collectible bronze work that is visually engaging from every angle.
