Steve Winterburn

A striking bronze sculpture with silver and gold patina by wildlife artist Steve Winterburn.

Established wildlife sculptor Steve Winterburn did not set out to create a sculpture inspired by the famous Marvel superhero Black Panther, yet his travels and research in South Africa led to the creation of an anthropomorphic panther who wore a bone necklace much like those worn by the tribes he encountered. The resulting reaction from Steve’s collectors over the undeniable resemblance to the Marvel character led to the creation of this collection; however, the signs, symbols and animal behind this artwork go further than any comic book references.

The artist’s travels have fostered an interest in mythology from around the world including Greek, Persian, Middle Eastern and beyond. In many of these cultures, animals are synonymous with aspects of mythology and can be seen in historic temples and depictions. Winterburn notes that in the past, realistic references for ferocious animals like panthers were not as readily available as they are today. Consequently, the depiction of animals in temples focuses on a sense of power and presence rather than realism. Not only did this influence the sculptural form and composition of Winterburn’s piece but also the tribal decoration on the collar. The inspiration for these designs comes from his exploration of temples and also his love of tattoos as a visual language that can reference ancient imagery from Celtic, Middle Eastern, and Sanskrit cultures.

A profound sculpture that contains striking references to antiquity and contemporary culture, you can view the full collection here or learn more about Steve Winterburn and his sculptural career on our blog.

Once you've completed your purchase, you'll receive a receipt via email. Our art consultants will follow up with you to provide confirmation and answer any further questions you may have.

Picking

The sculpture will be promptly picked and then seamlessly passed on to the next process in our fulfilment system. This ensures that your items are handled efficiently and prepared for delivery without delay.

Packaging

To ensure a secure transit, every sculpture is handled with utmost care. We take precautionary measures by using foam around the piece for added safety during transportation.

Out for delivery

Most orders are sent via a courier, and you will receive full tracking details. For some delicate orders within the UK, we may deliver the artwork personally. If this applies to your order, we will contact you directly to arrange the delivery.

Our artwork is meticulously manufactured in Birmingham, UK, to ensure the highest quality control. Due to the made-to-order nature of our products, we advise delivery can take up to four weeks from the date of your order. This careful process ensures that each piece meets our exacting standards before it reaches your door. Click here for more information.

Please note that if multiple artworks are purchased within the same order, they may be delivered separately for efficient delivery.

 

Returns

We want you to be absolutely happy with your artwork, so we offer a 14 day cool off period for you to take a look at the artwork in your home and make sure you're comfortable with it. If for any reason you decide it's not for you, we'll either come and collect the artwork or arrange to collect the artwork free of charge, alternatively you can drop the artwork into one of our galleries.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order to collect in a gallery?

At checkout, you'll have the option to have your order delivered to your home or to collect it from one of our galleries across the UK. For more information on delivery, visit our delivery page here.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, Castle Fine Art is based in the UK, but we ship internationally. All of our international orders are delivered via DHL, you can find out more here.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Most artwork orders will need to be professionally mounted and framed before being dispatched, so delivery can take up to four weeks from the date you placed your order, but we do strive to deliver your order as soon as we can. Books and gift cards are delivered within 2-3 working days. Please note, if multiple artworks are purchased within the same order, they may be delivered separately for efficient delivery. Find out more here.

How will I receive my certificate of authenticity?

All our limited edition artwork has a certificate of authenticity which will be included in your order alongside your artwork.

I'm an artist, how can I submit my art?

We are committed to discovering and developing talented, creative artists who love contemporary art as much as we do. Find out how to submit your art here.

Is my art insured?

Artwork is one of the few insurable items that is likely to appreciate in value over time, so it is important that you are protected by a specialist policy that can accommodate its true worth. Find out about your options here.

What happens after I order?

Once you've completed your purchase, a confirmation receipt will be sent via email. You will also receive a follow-up phone call from one of our art consultants to provide confirmation, finalise the details of your preferred delivery method and answer any further questions you may have.

What is the difference between a limited edition and an original?

An original work of art is a one-off piece - painting, sculpture, mixed media - which is made by the artist themselves. When you buy an original piece of work, it comes with the knowledge that you own something incredibly special; almost a piece of the creator themselves. A limited edition is a translation of an original piece and there is a fixed number of these made. The piece will be signed by the artist, and the edition number will show you which number in the series you have purchased. Read more about the different types of art we sell here.

Will you install my art?

We do offer an installation service should you need assistance. You can contact our art consultants for further information here. Please note that this is currently only available in mainland UK.
