Tony Evans Evans Studio Raku Ceramic Pottery Bear Sculpture
About the Item
This striking raku-fired ceramic bear by artist Tomi Evans is a powerful blend of earthy elegance and raw natural form. Sculpted with gentle, abstract lines, the bear embodies a quiet strength, its posture evoking calm movement and grounded resilience. The surface of the sculpture is richly textured with the hallmark characteristics of the raku firing process—smoky blacks, coppery browns, and a distinctive turquoise patina that dances across the bear's body like ancient lichen on stone.
Each piece is uniquely transformed by flame and smoke, making no two bears alike. This particular piece features a beautiful interplay of matte and metallic finishes, with subtle crackling and natural imperfections that lend it a timeless, archaeological feel.
This bear makes a compelling addition to any art collection or living space. Whether displayed as a standalone statement or integrated into a curated arrangement, it brings a touch of the wild and the artisanal to your environment.
Handcrafted and signed by Tomi Evans, this raku bear is not just a sculptureit's a narrative of fire, earth, and artistic expression. A perfect gift for lovers of wildlife, nature-inspired decor, or distinctive handmade art.
