About the Item

Jaguar Standing Bronze Sculpture Wildlife Wild Animal Realisme Contemporary Chris Tap (1973, Amsterdam) attended university where he studied economy and cultural anthropology, before he became a full time sculptor. In the last 12 years he developed his passion in an autodidact manner. Aside from studying anatomy Chris has spent a lot of time in Zoo's. with live models of big cats. Helped by faith, Chris came across the rare opportunity at the Amsterdam Zoo Artis to see cats from the closest distance possible, when they were given an anesthetic for medical reasons. Careful he measured up the big cats from every angle to the smallest details: the muscles, the bones, the eyes, the distance between the eyes, etc. He took a close look at a jaguar called ‘Inaja’. At Artis, the zoo of Amsterdam he came across an equal opportunity to study a huge male lion ‘Jan’. Tap is fascinated mostly by cats. The power they posses, the flexibility and grand style in which they move. He is the second generation of artists in his family – his father Wim Tap is a well known artist in Holland as well.

  • Vrouw met Gans Woman with Goose Bronze Sculpture Contemporary
    By Erwin Meijer
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Vrouw met Gans Woman with Goose Bronze Sculpture Contemporary The statues of Erwin Meijer are subtle with a recognizable, personal handwriting. They breathe the atmosphere of a narrative poem, where the reader not only encounters the artist, but also himself. Though the statues are realistic, there is still enough room for interpretation. Do the artist and the viewer see the same story? It doesn’t really matter, because the beauty in his work has a autonome quality. How can we interprete the work in the conscious and unconscious brain? The first will be hit by the clear styled forms and the technical know-how. The second by his favourite theme, nature, the loving images of men and animals, often together in harmony. Very common in his work is the symbolic worth within the story. The viewer experiences an emotion, seeing a human or human presence, funny or vulnerable. You sympathize with the myth and feel the power of the methaphorical meaning. This is confirms we are dealing with a real artist. Erwin Meijer managed very well to give his sculptures a classic universality, timeless, surpassing the boundaries of reality. With a signature beyond countries and cultures. . East and west meet each other in many sculptures, like Europe and the bull...
