Jim Budish
Renowned fine art bronze sculptor Jim Budish is most famous for his bronze Chauncey rabbit characters. What started with Chauncey has now bloomed into a whole cast of Chauncey characters – Chauncey Carrot Love, Chauncey Too, Chauncey Judge and more. Chauncey is often paired with companion Abby rabbit. The bronzes range from small table size to monumental. Collectors often start with one but can’t resist adding more pieces. Not limited to charming rabbit characters, Jim’s talent has led him to create a whole menagerie of memorable animal characters.
Budish’s artistic focus is on capturing the essence of animals, rather than merely their physical appearance. 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.”
Jim’s work is represented in Arizona by Wilde Meyer Galleries. Click on any piece to enlarge it.
