This striking sculpture, untitled but powerfully evocative, features a contemplative bear meticulously carved from black chlorite. The bear, seated with an air of quiet strength, is mounted on a contrasting alabaster base, which adds a touch of delicate refinement to the robust form above. The smooth, dark chlorite captures the bear’s muscular contours and fur texture, while the light-reflecting properties of alabaster enhance the visual interplay between the two stones. The thoughtful positioning of the bear, with its head slightly turned, suggests a moment of introspection or alertness, inviting viewers to engage with the narrative it embodies. The piece, standing at a notable height and commanding presence, underscores the harmony between the natural and the sculptural arts. Crafted with precision and artistry, this sculpture not only celebrates the majesty of the bear but also highlights the sophisticated interplay of textures and tones in stone sculpture. This work, like others from the same artist, serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and expressive potential of stone carving.
