Bacchus
Description
In this playful bronze sculpture, a bear lounges contentedly, pawing at a bunch of ripe grapes—a whimsical nod to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. With gentle humor and anatomical precision, Roger Martin captures a moment of indulgence that feels both wild and wonderfully human.
For over 35 years, Martin has sculpted wildlife with a deep reverence for the natural world. His early career in taxidermy and museum curation provided rare insight into animal behavior and form—expertise that shines through in this charming tribute to nature’s quieter celebrations.
Artist’s Statement
“My goal is to capture the essence or personality of the subject, not just an accurate anatomical replica of the species. I have spent much of my life studying animals. The more an artist knows their subject, the easier it is to push the envelope to achieve a truly expressive piece.”
