1Limited Edition Wyland Bronze Sculpture
In a rare departure from his underwater subjects, marine life artist Wyland pays testament to the emperor penguins of the southern hemisphere. In "Emperor of the Sea," the artist reminds us that even in the most remote places on earth the bonds between a mother and child remain strong, as witnessed in the subjects of this work. "I wanted to create a bronze penguin sculpture for a long time," Wyland says. "But I wanted it to really capture the lives of these amazing animals. Since cooperation is so critical to survival in the Antarctic, I decided to show a mother doing what all mothers do best - keeping a careful eye on her chick. The patina was reworked several times to get the color of these creatures just right. The effect of ice comes from hand-carved white marble."
