‘Bear Hugs’ is a large silkscreen print in a variable edition by printmaker Tim Southall. It is the first in a series of prints which aim to explore the very special bond between a mother and a child. From the earliest of times the mother figure has been depicted in art, most notably as the ‘Madonna and Child’ in western art, and this relationship has been, and continues to be explored through art today. The inspiration for ‘Bear Hugs’ has been with me all my life, both in terms of the relationship I have with my own mother, and in the rich cultural depiction of the subject in art. This strong and fundamental connection between mother and child courses like a strong current and is something that touches people’s souls, something that everyone can relate to and make a connection with. Like so many animals, historically bears have been shamefully mistreated and completely misunderstood. Consequently, I choose to depict them in a sympathetic and loving way. I often feature them in my narrative works where I give them emotions and a storyline and allow them the freedom to be themselves. And what could be better than a mother bear with her gorgeous little cub. Such a delicate thing swaddled in the immense strength and claws of its mother, and nothing is as comforting and reassuring than a protective hug from mum. Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood and maternal bonds, and this is not exclusive to humans. Maternal love extends throughout the animal kingdom. ‘Bear Hugs’ is in a variable edition. This means that the print is available in a number of different colours. Please contact the gallery for further details.
