One of a kind / unique piece of art sculpted in oak, pear tree and lime wood - via an ancient technique its surface has been covered in chalk apart from the oak wood that transferred into black via a natural/chemical process. It's a long story of how this sculpture evolved - in particular the woman portrait once just happened to be on the giraffe sculpture standing there in the corner of the studio - all of a sudden it just felt right. But did I end up with the 'Woman on a Beast'? Also there are the bits and pieces that happened to be in oak that naturally/chemically darkens over time. There seems to be a mysterious meaning in it all and I should leave it to the viewer to dig deeper. Artistic value relates to many factors, part of it is a quality that comes from talent and practise as well as conceptual content and creativity. The artist’s insight that this work will rise as well in price tag value is an indicator that this continues to happen.

London-based artist works with found objects, printed ready-mades as well as wood and bronze sculptures. Samuel Buttner exhibits internationally, has received awards and commissions for art in public spaces, and his work is held in both private and public collections. 'Remembering how my drawings as an eight-year-old received much attention, then opportunities for training during my teenage years leading to an education of professional wood sculptor. During my mid-twenties that enigmatic pull into social work with creativity for children and engagement in the special educational needs sector. The sculptor, printmaker and conceptual artist is grounded in life drawing, anatomical studies, and plein air painting. Much of the above would befriend me with Vincent van Gogh, valuing that eye-brain-hand-coordination for authentic, ecstatic expressiveness. Being equally aware how the subconscious gets visualized where it has been said that positive stimuli is evident as well as an artist philosopher, hence resonating with the like Marcel Duchamp exploring that limitless creativity-of-the-mind; that which is outside the box.'
