The Bear Cub figure is one of the latest additions to the Edge Sculpture range. Designed and craftsman made in England by talented Sculptor Matt Buckley, they are thoughtfully sculpted with an emphasis on aesthetic design moulded with the mind’s eye. Each carefully designed piece whether large is small has a unique feel that reflects the original animal with a dramatic mix of form, colour, light and texture.

The Bear Cub figure is one of the smaller Edge Sculptures in the range and will look beautiful displayed on its own atop a cabinet or table and will also look impressive as part of a collection of the smaller wildlife seated sculptures. The other Edge characters the Bear Cub will ‘sit’ well with are the Baby Orangutan, the Elephant Calf, the Baby Gorilla and the Tiger Cub.

The Bear Cub Figure has been designed to be an accurate representation of a brown bear cub capturing its life, energy and charisma. The bear cub is renowned for its playful nature, usually with its sibling, (bears usually have two cubs). Scientists have suggested that the bear cubs play may be for several reasons, the main ones being to burn off energy and increase fitness, to learn about their surroundings, to practise fighting and hunting and to release endorphins and other “feel good” chemicals. As yet, there is no consensus amongst experts as to why young bear cubs risk injury and burn their  energy in carefree activities simply to have “fun.”  But fun they do have and this bear cub figure captures that fun side of the animal perfectly.

This new Edge sculpture is a wonderful addition to any wildlife collection of objects.  At just 185mm wide,  150mm deep and 245mm high, he won’t even take up too much space so is perfect for grouping with other sculptures or placing in a smaller area where a larger piece may look somewhat out of place.

How The Bear Cub Figure is made

The original bear cub piece is moulded and given life from clay that is then expertly encapsulated in rubber to produce the parent mould.

It is then cast from a durable composite granite and are vacuum sealed with a bleed as to remove compromising air bubbles from the structure. The curative period is then initiated and sustained until the structure is aptly hardened.

The cub is then meticulously examined and fettled as to outline the depth of detail and heighten the sculptures natural form. For finishing it is then passionately coloured, shaded and detailed by our expert artists; completing the creation of a masterpiece as seen in the photo and the video below.
