Panzon ("Chubby"), 1989
Cast bronze, ed. # ?/12
Dan Ostermiller works in a realist style and is admired for his extensive knowledge of animal anatomy, high level of craftsmanship and compassionate treatment of his subjects. He is committed to studying animals in their own environments and strives to put character into his pieces. This sculpture, named Panzon, means "chubby" in Spanish. Panzon lives up to his name, with the artist rendering of his furry bulk, he greets visitors with a half-sleep, affable look.
