Bull Statues & Sculptures

The bull is a sculpture about mass. Where a horse is about movement and a lion about intent, a bull is about weight held still: the drop of the head, the bunched shoulder, the sense that it could move and has chosen not to. That is why it works as a single figure on open ground where a lighter animal would look lost.

Eight in ten pieces here are cast bronze, which is the right material for the subject twice over. It carries the visual density the animal needs, and a hand-applied patina deepens across the heavy planes of the shoulder and flank in a way no painted finish reproduces. Stone and marble cover the rest, mostly the classical and Mediterranean subjects.

Half the collection is traditional in treatment: charging and pawing bulls, standing and grazing figures, longhorn and Highland cattle, and the Spanish and Mediterranean subjects. There is a smaller contemporary group in stylised and geometric form. Browse the bronze work in bronze bull statues and the wider subject in animal sculptures and statues.

These are almost all outdoor pieces and they want space rather than a border. A charging bull in particular needs somewhere to charge into: sited against a hedge it reads as trapped, while the same piece with twenty feet of lawn in front of it reads as arriving. See the wider outdoor ranges in garden statues and life size and large statues.

Every bull statue we make is cast or carved to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping. Get in touch if you would like advice on siting, or to commission a particular breed.
