Spanish artist Dulk’s<\/a> (Antonio Segura) Protect What You Love<\/em><\/strong> polyresin sculpture from Thunder Mates<\/a> continues his work in drawing attention to the impending destruction of the natural world, in his richly surreal aesthetic. The limited-editon sculpture flows out of his solo art show of the same name currently on display at Tuesday to Friday<\/a> gallery in Valencia, Spain and his epic, ephemeral sculpture (Ninot) created and then, per tradition, burned for the Falla Municipal of Valencia<\/strong><\/em> back in March. Featuring a polar bear stranded on a sliver of arctic ice, the detailed piece unfolds a story that is more than it seems at first glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulk’s recurring Soul Rider<\/strong> character rides atop the polar bear, its possessions attached to the side of the endangered animal. A potted tree sits just behind the rider, a reminder of the need to preserve nature. The hourglass strapped to the side and the slender patch of greenery on the bear’s back call out the urgency of the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reverse side of the piece reveals an even more sobering vision. Through cutaway sections we see the machinery of the ‘polar bear’, a robotic stand-in, created perhaps after the worst has already occured. Beyond this stark circumstance, we also see a hopeful sign, the tree is apparently a tiny home for some unseen creature, complete with steps and a door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An edition of 50<\/strong>, the Protect What You Love<\/em> polyresin sculpture (8″) is available for pre order via online raffle until Sunday (4.10) @ 6:59 AM PDT<\/strong> from Thunder Mates<\/a> for $450<\/strong> with shipping scheduled for May 2022. The sculpture will come in a wooden crate-style box and include a signed\/numbered certificate of authenticity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
