This original resin sculpture titled "Iron" by Harry Bunce encapsulates the artist's distinctive style, blending whimsy with a raw, earthy aesthetic. Known for his endearing yet ed gy portrayals of animal characters, Bunce has once again brought his charming cast of creatures to life, this time in the form of a solid, faceless rabbit figure. The robust, rust-like texture of the resin sculpture contrasts with the softness typically associated with rabbits, presenting an ironic twist on this familiar figure. Bunce’s work is often described as ‘Beatrix Potter meets Quentin Tarantino,’ with a style that defies traditional categorisation. The sculpture carries a sense of weight and permanence, embodying a unique combination of folk art influence and modern subversive street art. "Iron" is reflective of the artist’s love for British wildlife, presented with a minimalistic and stylized approach that captures both innocence and strength. Harry Bunce’s background in Fashion and Textiles, as well as his deep connection with the British countryside, shines through in this piece. The sculpture draws attention to his wider artistic mission—to blend storytelling with environmental advocacy, always with a touch of humour and a hint of mischief. Show more
