Ken Auton 'Giant Pacific Octopus' bronze sculpture

Bronze 'Giant Pacific Octopus' sculpture made in New Zealand by wildlife sculptor Ken Auton. Edition number two. Approximate dimensions 650 x 600 x 520 mm (25.5 x 23.5 x 20.5 inches). Weight 45kg. Signed, original work of art. 

Notes: Petrified Kauri wood base is estimated to be 25,000 years old. Origin of the material is the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. 
Sculpture is in two parts. The bronze Octopus is removable from its base.
During a period spanning 18 months, Ken Auton spent 300 hours completing the artwork. 
Employing the 'lost wax' process, the Octopus was cast in many individual parts, then assembled by carefully welding these components together to achieve a seamless form.

Giant Pacific Octopus is hyper lifelike, fluid with energy, and has a powerful, commanding presence. Ken Auton draws on a career spanning five decades to achieve this superb result.
