Dear Deer, Dorit Levinstein

"Dear Deer" by Dorit Levinstein, from her "Animals" collection, is an original hand-painted bronze sculpture that offers a thoughtful and compassionate response to the traditional practice of mounting animal trophies. As expressed by Levinstein, this work is a reflection on humanity's relationship with nature and the ethical implications of using animal parts as decor. The sculpture, capturing the elegance and gentle spirit of a deer, is brought to life through Levinstein's vibrant use of color and fluid lines. In creating "Dear Deer," Levinstein not only showcases her artistic skills but also embeds a deeper message about respect for life and nature. This work stands as a symbol of the artist's belief in celebrating animals in a way that honors their existence, contrasting with the act of mounting a stuffed deer head. It's a piece that resonates with Levinstein's personal values and invites viewers to reconsider their own perspectives on nature and art.
