Bronze Wildlife sculpture and woodcarvings by Ian G Brennan :

Sculptor Ian G Brennan, specialises in detailed Wildlife woodcarvings and bronze sculpture. Ian's Wildlife sculpture are produced either as a one-off or in a limited edition.. Each sculpture is signed by the Artist and has its own unique edition number.

Ian's sculptures range from 2 inches to over 120 inches high, and are produced in silver, bronze and also often carved from a single piece of wood. . All are all produced with the same skill and care whether the client is a private individual corporation or indeed one of Ian's latest commissions for the British Royal Household.

Osprey catching a Pike  -  Leaping Panther  -  Swimming Otter  -  Swan protecting her cygnets

66" high x 24" wide     -     45" Long  x 37" High      -    43" high x 17" wide   -     27" high x  34" wide

All four of these bronze sculptures shown above, were originally carved from a single piece of hard wood, moulded and then cast in bronze.

When appropriate Ian often produces the original 'master copy' for his bronze sculptures carved directly from wood, which is then carefully moulded, produced in wax and then cast in bronze and occasionally silver. Once the moulding process is complete the original woodcarving can then be polished and retained as a unique sculpture.

27" high x  34" wide

Being able to retain the master copy is unlike the normal method of working where the master copy are usually produced directly from clay or wax which is then often destroyed during the moulding process at the foundry, which includes one of these unique woodcarving 'master copies' and former exhibition centre piece the lime wood carving of the 'Swan protecting her cygnets'. The bronze version of this Swan sculpture is shown above ;   further details

During the past twenty years Ian G Brennan has extensively exhibited his wood and bronze sculptures in Museums and Art Galleries, including some of the finest art galleries in London;  Outlined here is just a small example of Ian's early and more recent bronze and silver wildlife sculpture and woodcarvings, the sizes range from 3 inches to 96 inches high;
