Barry Flanagan RA — Hare on Pyramid
Barry Flanagan RA

Hare on Pyramid

A playful bronze hare balances atop a geometric pyramid form, capturing the dynamic energy and whimsical spirit that defined Barry Flanagan's celebrated animal sculptures. The piece showcases Flanagan's signature anthropomorphic approach, imbuing the leaping, expressive hare with a sense of movement and personality frozen in gleaming metal. The contrast between the ancient, monumental symbolism of the pyramid and the lighthearted vitality of the hare creates a striking dialogue between gravity and levity.
