About the Item
Contemporary Ceramic Alligator Sculpture, Attributed to Christopher Buhner, American Studio Art
Contemporary Ceramic Alligator Sculpture, In the Manner of Christopher Buhner,
Whimsical Animal Sculpture attributed to Christopher Buhner
A compelling contemporary ceramic sculpture depicting an alligator rendered with remarkable anatomical precision and expressive surface detail. The form captures the animal in a poised, alert stance, with carefully modeled scales, muscular structure, and a strong sense of presence that reflects a high level of studio craftsmanship.
Based on stylistic analysis and comparative research, this work is possibly by or attributed to Christopher Buhner, the American sculptor widely recognized for his highly realistic animal figures. The naturalistic modeling, confident handling of texture, and overall sculptural language align closely with Buhner’s known wildlife works, though the piece is offered as attributed pending further documentation.
Executed in ceramic and finished with a nuanced surface treatment that enhances depth and character, this sculpture bridges fine art and decorative sculpture, making it well suited for a curated interior, library, or collection focused on contemporary American studio art or wildlife subjects.
