EDWARD WAITES | American Eagle Trio
Bronze, Edition of 12
82 x 27 x 25 cms / 32¼ x 10¾ x 9¾ inches
Blending traditional art techniques with a modern sensibility, American Eagle Trio is a commanding piece by 21st century British artists, Edward Waites. Waites draws inspiration from the raw power and nobility of nature, capturing the eagle’s fierce determination and fluid movement with remarkable precision. This contemporary bronze wildlife sculpture showcases the bird in three dynamic poses—each embodying strength, agility, and the untamed beauty of the natural world.
Edward Waites’ American Eagle Trio captures the essence of power, grace, and untamed freedom through an evocative sequence of three bronze sculptures. The trio format serves as a visual narrative, depicting the majestic eagle in various stages of flight—preparing for takeoff, soaring, and landing. This rhythmic progression imbues the work with a sense of movement, drawing the viewer into the natural dynamism of the bird’s journey.
Waites’ loose sculpting technique heightens this effect, allowing the raw energy of each pose to emerge. The textural richness of the bronze, accentuated by meticulous patination, enhances the intricate detailing of the feathers, lending the piece both authenticity and expressive depth. The eagle, long a symbol of strength, vision, and resilience, is portrayed here not as a static emblem, but as a living force—an embodiment of both nature’s grandeur and its relentless spirit.
