James H. Moore
Prairie Boss

2024

About the Item

James H. Moore’s Prairie Boss is a refined bronze and mixed media relief that captures the enduring spirit of the American bison. Set within a richly textured backdrop, the compact sculpture features a powerful bison in mid-stride, rendered with incredible anatomical precision and dynamism. The earthy stone platform beneath the animal enhances the naturalistic tone, grounding the piece in a tactile sense of place. Moore’s careful selection of materials—bronze against travertine and a patinaed frame—evokes the rawness of the prairie while maintaining a sense of elegance and restraint. The bison, both stoic and forceful, becomes a symbol of resilience and heritage. Through this intimate yet commanding composition, Moore invites viewers to contemplate strength, survival, and the quiet nobility of wildlife in the American West.
