New Edge Sculptures for 2021

Matt Buckley has added new pieces to his Edge Sculpture range. The new sculptures are:

These are creatures that have been often requested such as the French Bulldog and the Hedgehog. The Orangutan is a piece Matt has always wanted to sculpt to be part of the primates range so it can sit alongside the gorilla and chimps. The Snowflake gorilla is based on a real gorilla that has a special story which can be seen below.

Snowflake

The baby Gorilla in white called Snowflake is in honour of an actual albino gorilla who so far is the only one of his type ever found. Named Snowflake, this rare creature was captured and removed from the wild in 1966. Sadly, the farmer who captured him killed the rest of his family.  Snowflake was sold to primatologist Jordi Sabater who took him to Barcelona Zoo where he lived until his death in 2003.

When Snowflake arrived at Barcelona Zoo they were not aware that he was a unique specimen and asked the original capture of him to send them more white gorillas so a breeding programme could be established.  Snowflake did sire many offspring plus grandchildren and great-grandchildren, none of which were albino. One great-grandson of Snowflake does however have pink fingers, which is perhaps suggestive of partial albinism.

Snowflake was featured in news reports worldwide and was a very popular attraction at the Zoo. Matts sculpture is a beautiful way to honour this unique creature from when he was very young. He has captured the light-sensitive pale blue eyes and snowflakes pink hands and fingers to perfection. This piece is a true collectable with a unique true story behind the design.

Hedgehog – NOW IN STOCK

This cute little Hedgehog is a perfect addition to the wildlife collection of Edge Sculptures.

Being smaller than most Edge Sculptures, the Hedgehog will look great in a smaller space such as a small shelf or lamp table.

It will also sit equally well with other woodland creatures such as any of the Owl collection, the Fox, the Squirrel or the Hares.

The Orangutan Bust

This majestic Orangutan bust is a character that Matt has been wanting to create for a while. It is a great addition to the Apes range that already includes Gorillas and Chimps.

This Edge sculpture captures the humanistic qualities of the Orangutan with thoughtful and engaging eyes.

The piece is hollow allowing light and shadows to flood through the sculpture. The back of the Orangutan Bust is coated in a copper hue on the inside which compliments the red of the animal’s fur to perfection.

The French Bulldog Bust

The French Bulldog is available in four charming and popular breed colours. There is the Blue, Fawn, Brindle and Pied each with its own distinctive colourings and markings that make them a favourite of fans of this breed.

French Bulldogs are playful, smart and adaptable making them such great pets. They have large Bat Ears’ (a term used as a nickname for the breed) giving them a clownish appearance. Their playful character has been perfectly captured in each of these sculptures and makes them a wonderful gift for lovers of this popular breed.
