About the Item
The Happy Bear is a bronze sculpture by contemporary artist Eric Valat, dimensions are 15 × 20 × 16 cm (5.9 × 7.9 × 6.3 in).
The sculpture is signed and numbered, it is part of a limited edition of 8 editions + 4 artist’s proofs, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The bear makes an appearance in Eric Valat's bestiary of sculptural vocabulary straight out of childhood. Eric Valat is attempting to reimagine the traditional bear representation with his Bear Benches, which feature extremely vivid and bright colors. The bear pulls its arms back as if it were trying to embrace someone or something. The sculpture displays an elaboration of the forms that leans toward harmony and simplification. The artwork has a refined and airy quality thanks to the green patina.

Eric Valat
After graduating from the Toulouse School of Fine Arts, Éric Valat began working with recycled metal objects, which fascinate him because of their history. The artist combines them with synthetic and plastic materials, allowing greater creative freedom, and develops a bestiary of unique sculptures. Today, Éric Valat’s artistic production consists of animals created in bronze or polyester. With their poetry and an impetus that seems to animate them, they invite us to tell ourselves stories, and to imagine our own fables. Since the late 90s, the artist has created more than 30 monumental sculptures, exhibited in private and public places. “Through all the characters I create, I try to create sculptures that live, that turn, that move.”
