Artwork Description

Otters are known for being very social and energetic creatures, these two characteristics are the main drivers behind the design of the composition with this work for Steve Winterburn. The inquisitive manor in which the otter is sculpted rolling on its back captures both perfectly, giving it an endearing appearance with a playful edge.

As a study, Steve really wanted to focus on the cuteness of the otter which they are so famous for, the details he creates with the realistic tooling marks really brings the creature to life. This charming character he has created really draws you into the sculpture and allows you to connect with the artwork on a personal level.

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.
