The Boar by Stephen Hunton, Stone Resin, Edition Unknown, 50cm high by 38cm wide by 60cm deep, Animals and Birds sculpture

The Boar by Stephen Hunton is a stone resin sculpture measuring 50 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 60 cm deep. The piece captures the raw strength and spirit of a wild boar through a bold, handcrafted aesthetic. Hunton sculpts the head with strong, confident lines that reveal the artist’s process, each groove and ridge a mark of deliberate craftsmanship.

The boar’s form feels alive with texture. Its snout pushes forward, nostrils flared, while a powerful set of tusks curl out from its mouth. Across the back of the head, strands of fur are carefully carved, their rhythmic flow contrasting the rougher surfaces that surround them. The sculpted lines give the work a sense of movement and vitality, as though the animal might snort and shake its head at any moment.

Hunton’s use of stone resin allows for fine detailing while maintaining the impression of weight and solidity. The finish highlights the tactile nature of the piece, both rugged and refined, echoing the dual character of the boar itself: fierce yet noble, wild yet dignified. The Boar stands as a striking study in strength and form, where expressive texture and sculptural honesty bring a timeless animal presence to life.
