Churchill

“Churchill” is a bronze sculpture by the eminent Frogman, Tim Cotterill, that exhibits a regal and contemplative owl. The sculpture is steeped in a palette of earthy tones, with the wings boasting a textured, marbled patina that transitions from a rich, tawny brown to the soft, lighter hues that envelop the body of the owl.

Cotterill’s craftsmanship is evident in the owl’s detailed, thoughtful gaze, which is accentuated by large, soulful black eyes, creating a striking contrast with the muted tones of its feathers. The beak, rendered in a gleaming gold, adds an element of prestige, suggesting the owl’s wise and discerning character.

The owl is perched upon strong, black talons with golden tips, grounding the piece with a sense of stability and power. “Churchill” encapsulates the essence of wisdom and nobility, often associated with owls, and embodies a sense of serene watchfulness.

This sculpture is a perfect representation of Tim Cotterill’s ability to capture the spirit of wildlife in his art. It makes a stately addition to any collection and is particularly suited for those who appreciate the blend of naturalistic detail and stylized interpretation that is a hallmark of Cotterill’s work.
