Okay, bear 5. This one was just a fun one for me. I wanted to portray the intensity of the bear; having actually locked eyes with a bear in the wild i know and want to convey how intimidating they truly care, BUT I also want to portray that we are only ever looking at from a human perspective. To a baby bear, this face is his world. To other wildlife a sign to make space and be scarce. We only have negative interactions with this creature when we tread into their home. Then we regard them as a cold killer, even though with the ratio of hikers out there in the world, there would be a lot more tragedies were these animals truly the villains they can sometimes be portrayed as. So this painting was a mix of the fun and freedom I also see in the bear, the humour and the joy, and that bears love to watch the sunset. That the love their children, they love to play. They enjoy a nap in a field. And l love them dearly.
Welcome to the 148 Bear project. It’s an odd number right? In 2017 a bear I had grown quite attached to, called Bear 148, was shot by a hunter after a relocation to BC. She had gained quite a lot of notoriety for her familiarity with humans in the parks, roaming around Canmore and Banff, watching sports be played in the soccer fields. She had hundreds, literally hundreds of interactions with humans that were non-threatening, and was shipped off and then hunted. In my opinion Bear 148 is a symbol for our failure to interact with bears in any other way other than as a threat or as waste. Grizzlies are gorgeous, powerful creatures, and deserve to share the forests and land with both the respect and admiration that is due to them. I will be painting 148 bears, from Black to Spirit to Grizzly to Polar bear, because I feel like all these creatures speak to the critical state humanity has reached, regarding having a life of connection with the other creatures that bless us with their presence on this planet. Bear 148 was a gorgeous and peaceful bear, and she will be the 148th painting in this process.
Enhanced texture and timeless beauty with our canvas print. The canvas texture enhances the image's natural look and feel, creating a truly immersive art experience.
Features:
- We use responsibly sourced wood for stretcher bars, mainly FSC certified wood, to make our canvas prints, ensuring a long-lasting and high-quality product.
- We use coated fabric, a blend of cotton and polyester, for our canvas substrate. This provides a weight of approximately 300-350gsm/110-130lb cover and a thickness of 350-400 microns, giving you a sturdy and durable product.
- We've also included a hanging kit, which may vary depending on the country of fulfillment.
- To ensure no damage during transportation, we ship our canvas prints in protective packaging and strong boxes.
