About the Item

Resting Tiger is the partner work to Fred Gordon's Walking Tiger Gordon sculpts with heated sheets of wax layered quickly by hand; producing a spontaneous, tactile effect that lends the surface both abstraction and movement. As he says, he is not chasing anatomical perfection, but “trying to capture a moment in wax,” a flicker of life, a nuance in posture, the tension in a pause. But it is the eyes that truly anchor his pieces. Gordon believes “you can see life in the sculpture through the eyes.” And in both tigers, they become the emotional focal point. Up close, their gaze holds presence, character, and a deep, instinctive intelligence, pulling the viewer in as if the animal might shift or breathe at any moment. Each sculpture is finished in a marbled patina of natural greens, browns, and greys; evoking the tonal richness of the wild and enhancing the layered, almost collaged quality of the surface. We charge shipping at cost, and as each work requires specific crating by our shippers, do reach out with your address so we might quote you for a bespoke door to door service.
