claw bear

The sculpture titled “Claw Bear” is a blocky, stylized wooden figure resembling a bear with exaggerated features. The piece is constructed using simple geometric wooden blocks, assembled to create a humanoid bear-like form with a squared-off head, torso, and limbs.

The face is particularly striking, with a prominent snout, sharp angular teeth, and black ink detailing that emphasizes texture and expression. The nose is painted red, adding a pop of color that enhances its character. The arms and legs are adorned with claw-like markings, reinforcing the “Claw Bear” theme. The body features a crisscross pattern, resembling fur or a lumberjack-style flannel shirt, and the shorts and boots are also illustrated with ink.

The sculpture sits on a wooden base, giving it stability and presence. The background, featuring playful, colorful drawings, adds an extra layer of creativity and contrasts with the sculpture’s raw, hand-crafted aesthetic. “Claw Bear” has a folk-art, almost toy-like quality but also carries a rugged, expressive energy, making it a unique and engaging piece.
