Arran Ross's "Bronze Astronaut - Moonshine Edition" presents a captivating juxtaposition of earthly patina and cosmic exploration. Standing at 28 cm tall, this bronze sculpture features a space-suited figure with a striking verdigris finish that gives the piece its distinctive turquoise colouration, complete with subtle weathering that reveals hints of the metallic bronze beneath. The astronaut's helmet, rendered in polished golden bronze, creates a mirror-like surface that reflects its surroundings while concealing the figure's identity. Ross has masterfully balanced whimsy and contemplation in this piece, with the stocky, childlike proportions of the space explorer creating an immediate sense of charm, whilst the reflective helmet invites deeper consideration about humanity's place in the universe.

The Cosmic and the Familiar
This limited edition sculpture bridges the gap between our terrestrial existence and cosmic aspirations. When displayed in a home or office setting, "Bronze Astronaut" serves as both a conversation piece and a moment of daily reflection, its verdigris patina developing a unique character over time that connects to traditions of bronze artistry while exploring thoroughly contemporary themes. The sculpture's modest scale allows it to command attention without dominating a space, making it versatile enough for display on desks, shelves, or as a centrepiece on coffee tables. The contrast between the weathered body and the pristine helmet creates a visual tension that draws the eye and mind into contemplation of exploration, discovery, and our ongoing fascination with what lies beyond our world.
