From self-taught artist Barry Stein, the Bronze Hippopotamus Sculpture is part of a limited edition of 500 pieces. Crafted in the USA from bronze and colored using a special chemical patina instead of standard paint, this hippopotamus figurine is intricately detailed with the characteristic features of the mighty hippo. Barry Stein is celebrated for his ability to recreate nature's design in stunning works of animal-inspired bronze art. Barry Stein sculptures can be spotted in wildlife art collections worldwide, and his work has been gifted by the U.S. Government to foreign heads of state. Due to the patina process that renders rich color, the Hippopotamus Bronze Sculpture is unique from piece to piece in exact shading and resulting color.
About the artist Barry Stein
Renowned for his vibrant, lifelike bronze animal sculptures, self-taught wildlife artist Barry Stein creates stunning works of art inspired by the natural world. Working primarily in bronze, Stein uses a special chemical patina coloring process to transform each sculpture into a bold accent piece that mimics the bright hues of exotic landscapes. And staying true to his nature, he starts the entire sculpting process in wood rather than clay, because wood provides more detail. Living and working in Oregon, Barry Stein spends hours in the wilderness researching and observing the wildlife he carefully replicates in his work. This collection of Barry Stein Bronze Sculptures showcases his remarkable talent for realistic detail, intricate form, and striking color combinations.
