Artwork Description
Hares have been a huge part of cultures across the world for centuries, in myth and storytelling, with most beliefs based around them representing rebirth and new beginnings. Physically however, their most revered trait is undoubtedly speed.
Steve Winterburn has sculpted this in his new, slightly more abstracted style with big bold, expressive tooling, which really adds the dynamics and flow needed to capture the pace of the hare in full flight. He has pushed the boundaries in terms of the composition with the whole piece angled over and poised off one foot. All of this combines to create an awe inspiring piece of sculpture that is a show stopping piece in any space it is situated.
Biography
As a long serving trustee and wildlife conservationist enthusiast, Steve has travelled the world gaining inspiration and knowledge about animals. He began expressing the inspiration through painting, but with an engineering background it wasn’t long before he taught himself to sculpt and then later launched his own family run studio and foundry in 2002. The business has now flourished and boasts more than 20 years of experience in delivering a huge number of challenging and varied commissions.
Steve is a world renowned sculptor and works with a number of well established names from the fine-art world, including: Halcyon Gallery, Carrs Silver, Monaco Fine Arts, Hickmet Fine Arts, Sotheby’s, Christies, LAPADA and BADA. Along the journey of working with precious metals Steve and his family have obtained the skills to work with silver and gold and have been granted their own British Hallmark. Sports fans may also be familiar with his flagship piece at Wembley Stadium: this spectacular bronze commissioned by the charity Rugby League Cares, features five legends of Rugby League which is now considered a Wembley landmark in its own right.
