Art Deco Inspired Black Patinated Bronze Leopard Sculpture, 2020

This contemporary sculpture representing a walking leopard on a rectangular naturalistic base is made of solid burnished black patinated bronze, created by the Argentine-Italian artist Pablo Simunovic through the ancient lost wax casting method. The animal figurative feline artwork - sculptured on the round - has a majestic appearance and wonderful bronze texture. The dark patina of the bronze with different shades ranging from grey to black emphasizes the mysterious elegance of this wild big cat, and its profile is stunning from any angle. The superb modeling of this exceptional Art Deco or Jugendstil-inspired piece captures the strength and power of this majestic wildlife animal as well as a natural sense of motion. The artist is able to attribute incredible details to this work of art, creating an animal figurative fine art object by applying classical techniques to contemporary subjects. Modeling the inert wax cast of the sculpture, which is the soul of the final result in bronze, creates an animal with incredibly realistic features. Measures: H. 22 cm, W. 33 cm, D. 13 cm.
