Steve is known for his wildlife sculpture across the globe, with a lot of his works expressing the prowess of animals from around the world. He started this sculpture as he wanted to portray the biggest and most iconic of our wildlife here in the UK, the “Monarch”. The Red Deer is the largest native mammal species, for Steve one siting in particular of a full-grown Red Stag whilst travelling up in Scotland has stuck with him to this day and is the main driving inspiration for this piece.
For Steve this work also has a spiritual meaning. For thousands of years the stag has been intertwined with myth and legend in our culture here in the UK. Being able to express his own take on this majestic creature to add further to its legacy and immortalise it in bronze, is something he has always wanted to do.
From seeing stags over the years, it was their regal elegance and aura that really stood out for Steve, he said “you can’t help but be in awe and feel the connection we have with these beautiful animals”. With the composition and pose of the stag he has captured this strength exquisitely.
This piece is a 1 of 1 with Carrs Silver of Sheffield with their master craftsmanship in precious metals, this piece has a solid gold plate engraved with the sculpture name edition and both brand marks that caps the black marble base.
