The whole character of the animal changes when it is in captivity, not in the least because he no longer has to fend for himself. Seeing a Bengal Tiger dragging a freshly killed Samba back into his habitat was an incredibly powerful and inspiring thing to witness.” (HM)
Like Rembrandt, Bugatti and Antoine-Louis Barye before him, Hamish has been inspired to depict the Tiger. His experience of studying Tigers in Bengal, instills each bronze Tiger sculpture with a realism and a spirit that only comes from seeing these magnificent Big Cats in the flesh.
Hamish’s limited edition Tiger Head sculpture is a powerful, heavily textured piece, showing the animal’s proud strong head and intelligent eyes. Available either with long neck with Kilkenny stone base, or short neck with Hornton stone base.
On our India research trip in 2015, we travelled to both Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra and Kaziranga National Park in Assam. We were lucky enough to see tiger in both parks as well as other animals. My Leica was on overdrive, and the research I did was then translated into four separate studies of tiger. This tiger head sculpture shows the stare of a tiger, full of intent.
