About the Item

Nichola Theakston (1967) has established herself as one of the UK’s foremost contemporary sculptors working within the animal genre. With the ''Tesem'' Nichola shows how exquisite she can capture the feelings and expressions in an animal. The gracious Tesem is a dog species used for hunting and were kept by the Ancient Egyptians. Although the bronze sculpture has an edition of 12, every piece has a different hand painted patina, which makes each piece unique. Nichola's work focuses on the vulnerability of existence and coexistence. She questions our perception of an animal's "personality" and strives to portray elements of our shared experience. It is important for Nichola that animals are displayed with attention and that her images also invite empathy and reflection. Studying art at the Jacob Kramer College of Art, then a degree in Fine Art at the Exeter College of Art and Design and finally a Masters-degree in Ceramics at Cardiff College of Art and Design, Nichola has combined academic excellence with an international reputation as a preeminent sculptor. Nichola is collected enthusiastically by many who appreciate her exceptional natural ability and skill, coupled with sensitivity and awareness of her subject.
