Stephen Charlton (B. 1958): Pair of large, boxing hares, 2015. Bronze No 2 from a series of 9 'There's no better feeling than when we experience a lift of our spirit. When captured, that exquisite moment can transcend our external environment. To make people smile inside is the driving force behind the creatures I create. I embark on a journey to capture the essence of an animal, deliberately leaving detail to be filled-in by the viewer. Rather than create anatomical studies of my subjects, I observe behavior, stance and character. Character is the essence of being.'
- These boxing hares exude character and playfulness with a human quality characteristic of Charlton's individual and original style and artistic sensibility. Unfortunately the photographs do not capture their texture, character and wit or the dialogue between them, they need to be seen in the flesh. - Each sculpture is supplied with its own walnut stand so they can be displayed on a table top and easily moved in relation to each other to change the perspective between them and how they are seen; and around the home (images below on template stands) - The sculptures are versatile and can be displayed as artworks on a table in the home or in the garden - Beautifully textured Provenance : Private Collection, Kirkton House, Angus acquired directly from the artist Dimensions : One hare height 104 depth 30cm width 23cm The other hare height 89cm depth 42cm width 22cm
