Eyes of the Samurai

A Bear Warrior in Eye-Covered ArmorA grizzly bear sits enthroned in the dress of a feudal Japanese warrior, two katana resting across its lap. The armor is layered with dozens of watchful eyes, rendered in gold, deep teal, and burnished copper. Below the throne crouches a snarling tiger, its orange coat blazing against a background of stylized waves, cranes, and red blossoms. The style is dense, symmetrical, folk-inspired, closer to an illuminated tarot card than a painting. This piece sits well alongside our Animals collection and pairs naturally with work from Fantasy Art and Spiritual & Religious. Its symmetry and ornament reward a slow look. --- Where Strength Meets RitualA bear in samurai armor, guarded by a tiger and a hundred painted eyes. Gold and teal detail runs edge to edge. It's a piece that keeps revealing something new the longer you sit with it.
