Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Matt Flaherty's Sleuth is stunning in its execution and in its colouring.
He appears to be walking off the page toward you.
Can you imagine encountering such a beast in the wild?
Just you and Sleuth.
You can see this bear's focused determination, head down sniffing the ground.
You see his power, long muscled torso, thick large legs.
Who would come out the victor in this encounter?
Matt's signature detail for his bears is a longer, thinner muzzle and eyes that are slightly slanted and exotic.
These small details challenge us to see art with "new" eyes.
Widen our perspective.
I admire Matt for pushing the envelope with his art.
