About the Item

A very well modelled study of an Arab horse in full motion turning to his right, the bronze with good rich brown colour and fine hand chased detail, raised on a stepped oval black marble base, signed S Winterburn and numbered 1 of 6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION height: 41 cm width: 52 cm Condition: As New Condition Circa: 2010 Materials: bronze marble SKU: 7631 ABOUT Steve Winterburn Steve Winterburn (born 1959, Coventry) is a self-taught artist whose creative development has been fuelled by his conviction, immense energy and curiosity. Possessing an innate comprehension of engineering and design enables him to explore his passion for challenge and experimentation. Steve began teaching himself to sculpt in 1994. With the progression of his sculpting an ambition emerged to personally shape each piece of his work from concept to completion. He had entrusted the casting of his earlier bronzes to the established foundries. But the delays in delivering his work became frustrating and he was disillusioned by the changes that resulted from not handling the finishing stages himself. In 2002 Steve moved to Yorkshire, in the north of England, and began converting the vast workshop next to his house into the current 9 room studio foundry. It was here he started to experiment in order to gain an understanding of the entire process that is traditionally a closely guarded secret handed down between foundry men. The challenges included mastering mould making skills and the lost wax impression of the moulds from which a one off ceramic mould is made ready for the bronze pouring. Expanding his expertise with chasing the bronze, his ability to hand work the malleable surface and with the patina (colours). These stages are normally undertaken by a succession of different people, each skilled in their particular phase of the evolving sculpture. Involvement with a diversity of initiatives has taken Steve to India, Peru, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Australia and Ethiopia, sculpting people and animals. Steve has regularly exhibited with Hickmet Fine Arts at the internationally acclaimed LAPADA Fine Art and Antiques Fairs ( the highly prestigious UK Antiques Federation) and twice with The Wildlife Arts Society at the Westminster Gallery where in 1998 he won the award for best 3 dimensional piece. He has exhibited twice at the Royal Academy in London. Projects include developing designs for two statues, that are huge public pieces of art commemorating the rugby league players Clive Sullivan and Peter “Flash” Flanagan, and a recently completed figurative piece to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research and for young boxers to have brain scans – this may extend to a further commission to produce a life size sculpture. He has been invited to Buckingham Palace to do a portrait of the Duke of Edinburgh. He has completed a life size bust of Jim Cronin and Charlie the Chimp. Jim Cronin was one of the Founders of Monkey World – The Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset, UK. In 2009 Steve started working on the Welsh Dragon Project, which will be an 80 foot dragon to be situated in Wrexham, North Wales. Planning for this was granted in March 2011. In February 2010 he had a very successful exhibition in Barbados which sold out. Steve was awarded a commission at Wembley Stadium of 5 Rugby League players which was unveiled at the 2014 Challenge Cup Final. He is also working on projects with Carrs of Sheffield and selling his work at Harrods.

19th Century Animalier Bronze Sculpture "Standing Cockerel" by Paul Comolera
By Paul Comolera
Located in London, GB
A very fine large late 19th Century Animalier gilt bronze study of a standing cockerel with his chest pushed out in a proud pose as he crows to the eraly morning sunshine, the bronze surface with excellent deep golden colour and fine hand finished detail, signed P.Comolera ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 31 cm Width: 20 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1900 Materials: Bronze SKU: 9324 ABOUT Paul Comolera (French, 1818 ~ 1897) Comolera was born in Paris, France. A very fine sculptor known mainly for his modelling of birds but he also produced some other animal figures as well as portrait busts. Comolera was a student of the early sculptor Francois Rude and he was the teacher of Jules Moigniez, one of the more important sculptors of the Animalier school. There is a distinct similarity in the detail, construction, form, and finish of the works of Comolera and his student Moigniez although Comolera’s birds are considered to be more in the naturalistic style as opposed to the romantic style of his pupil. Paul Comolera made his debut at the Salon in 1846 with a group called Golden Pheasants of China and continued to exhibit there until his death in 1897. Comolera’s bronzes...
