Description

About this Sculpture

This majestic Orangutan bust is a powerful addition to our Edge Sculpture collection. It completes the Ape range of sculptures, already including Gorillas and Chimpanzees.

The orangutan is known for its distinctive red fur and large cheek pads. They live mainly in trees where they rest during the day. 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.

How the Orangutan Edge Sculpture is made

The original piece is moulded from clay, it is then expertly encapsulated in rubber to produce the parent mould.

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

The piece is then meticulously examined and fettled 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.
