Bronze Cat (pink)

5.5″ (14cm) x 9″ (23cm) x 3″ (7cm)

How wonderfully proud does this bronze cat look? With his tall neck, polished bronze face and stunning pink patina? Seamus Connolly produces the most adorably collectable stylized bronze animals. Sculpted, cast, metal finished and patinated by himself all in his own studios here in Kilbaha, Seamus spends quite some time getting just the right depth of colour at the very end, by layering various shades of colours on top of one another. In this case, this bronze kitten is probably a dark lilac rather than a pink, as such, and has just the right amount of greys and darker tonal elements to make this cat become wonderfully endearing while also being artistically quirky and very collectable.

Seamus Connolly is one of Ireland’s leading portrait sculptors, with life-size commemorative works up and down the country – also celebrated for his stylized bronze animals, which are highly collectable artworks.
