Description
Solid, contented and full of personality, this bronze saddleback pig is a celebration of volume and form. The broad, gently curved body is modelled with confidence, its weight grounded through short, sturdy legs and a relaxed stance. Bibby’s patination subtly differentiates the pig’s markings, adding visual interest while maintaining a harmonious overall surface. The slight turn of the head and alert ears introduce a sense of awareness, preventing the form from feeling static. There is humour in the subject, but it is handled with restraint, allowing the sculpture’s presence and craftsmanship to take precedence.
