We are honored and pleased to offer four dynamic, western, bronze sculptures by artist Bill Shaffer.

 

“Movement,” says Bill Shaffer, when asked to sum up his feelings about his sculptures. “To take metal, pour it at 2,100 degrees into a mold and have a bronze figure emerge that has the essence of motion – that’s what it’s all about. In painting you can create the feeling of motion with the action lines, blurring, and dust. You can’t do that with metal. To me, the more detail one puts into a bronze, the more static it becomes. I suggest detail, leaving a lot up to the viewer’s imagination. This invites a partnership between the artist and his viewer, letting the viewer add their imagination to the piece.”
