RUNNING WILD BOAR SCULPTURE
The Wild Boar sculpture was commissioned to join a sculpture of several deer and a fox in a garden in Warwickshire. The boar was going to be emerging from the bushes on a river bank and I wanted him to have a strong sense of purpose and motion, as though spotted while he trotted to the water.
Working on a large scale on garden pieces is always a pleasure because the sculptures are designed to appeal from a distance in setting. The large marks help create a sense of movement and life, and I had a lot of fun sculpting the piece.
This bronze Running Wild Boar statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Boar sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
10% of the proceeds from this bronze wildlife sculpture support the ‘David Shepherd Wildlife Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose
Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.
Foundry Bronze – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

This beautiful, life-like Wild Boar bronze statue is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is well known for her life-like wildlife and animal sculptures. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Boar statue will go to the ‘David Shepherd Wildlife Trust’, a charity that fights for greater legal protection of endangered species.
The Running Wild Boar is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original sculpture, taken from a mould. Your Boar sculpture can be cast in Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze metal depending on which material you prefer.
How The Sculpture Was Made
The Wild Boar sculpture was modelled in wax, over a steel and aluminium armature for support. After the statue was finished a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
