He is not the king of the jungle, yet his majestic form puts to shame the roar of a lion!
The universal symbol of ambition and authority, the jaguar in this modern metal artwork is a sight to behold. Edges and lines united in its body, their sharpness fusing together to recreate the supple, naturalistic form of the animal.
The use of multiple lines in the composition reminds one of Cubist principles, especially simplification, where natural forms are divided into elementary features, creating a representational image that is a dead-ringer to the living, breathing subject.
Despite the strength of the material, the jaguar has agility in its pose, an aliveness suggested by its curving tail, anticipation in its gaping mouth, and alertness in the placement of its legs, creating an air of peace before the prance.
