Bronze sculpture artist Jim Budish is well known for his unique way of representing animals in his work.  Jim states about his art: “As an artist I try to create a smile through my sculpture by reaching into my subject, attempting to capture the “Joie De Vivre” that I believe is “lurking” somewhere inside all of us. In my minimalist approach, with simple economy of line, I want to capture the essence of my subject’s spirit, emotion, attitude and personality.”

Budish describes his artistic process for creating his bronze art: “I typically sculpt in clay on maquette size works and cast in bronze via the lost wax method. On larger – life size and monumental works, I prefer to sculpt in low-, or high-density foam. I then apply clay to the surface, before creating a mold and casting in bronze via the lost wax method.”  I find this is the method that allows me as an artist to best achieve my goal.

Jim’s work is represented in Arizona by Wilde Meyer Galleries.  Click on any piece to enlarge it.
