Shark from Edge Sculpture by Matt Buckley

Shark sculpture by Matt Buckley from the EDGE collection. There can be no more iconic predator of the seas than the shark. Great White sharks are particularly menacing and are the ocean's top hunters. They are powerful swimmers - up to 35 mph - and are also intelligent, inquisitive and fast learners. They will cooperate with each other to hunt in groups. One of evolution's great success stories, the shark's ancestry dates back to before the dinosaurs. Sharks have long been feared by man but hit films like Steven Spielberg's Jaws and more recently The Meg have just added further to the their infamy. Matt Buckley's sculpture perfectly embodies the power and menace of this great hunter.

Medium: Cold cast marble resin, hand finished and painted.

Size: 31.0 cm high, 59.5 cm long, 20.5 cm deep (12.2 x 23.5 x 8 inches)

This completely fresh sculpture must be seen to fully appreciate the depth/colour and presence they possess, the 2D world really does not do it justice at all.

About the range: Edge Sculpture

Presenting a most striking collection of contemporary sculpture. Emotionally evocative, fiercely modern, yet remaining utterly affordable, Edge Sculpture is designed and sculpted by Matt Buckley at his studios in Shropshire, England.

Edge Sculpture is a collection influenced by style rather than subject. The mix of form, light and texture gives a unique feel to each individual piece. Each subject has been originally sculpted from clay, which allows the creation of pieces that deliver both a dynamic and organic feel. We then develop both the cases and moulds which ensure the faithful reproduction of the original clay sculpture with our special blend of marble stone castings. The finishing touch is the skilful application of hand-painting with the end result being a statement piece and talking point for anyone’s home!
