Barry Flanagan — Solo
Barry Flanagan

Solo

2001

A bronze hare balances dynamically on one leg in a moment of graceful, almost comedic poise, capturing the playful energy that defines Barry Flanagan's celebrated animal sculptures. The figure's elongated ears and expressive posture imbue the work with a sense of whimsy and vitality, transforming the weight of the metal into something light and animated. Created in 2001, *Solo* exemplifies Flanagan's lifelong fascination with the hare as a symbol of creativity, freedom, and the unpredictable spirit of the artist.
