Bret Overturf Monumental Sculptor
Every artist expresses a distinctive style, and each piece of their work is a declaration of spirit, an affirmation of existence and a flicker into their soul. Within Bret Overturf lies a passion for wildlife and a wonder of the outdoors that is confirmed in every aspect of his art.
Bret has received renowned acclaim for his monumental bronze wildlife sculptures, which have been shown in private galleries in the United States. Collectors of his artwork, found all over North America, Europe and South Africa, celebrate his detailed realism of wildlife.
An artist, a craftsman and a sportsman, Bret is ecstatically appreciative when able to reach others through his art. His bronzes are limited editions in few numbers and one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces. Each sculpture can take up to two months to complete, he rushes nothing and leaves nothing undone. In the tradition of limited editions, once the edition is exhausted, the molds are destroyed.
An appetite to create in the spirit of the old handcrafters has added functionality to Bret's art. His reputation entered the realm of "artisan and craftsman" when Bret's vision of wildlife-inspired furniture came to fruition with the finely tuned skills of Robert Pappenfort. Bronze work embellishes the natural beauty of leather and wood to create an exciting "Interiors Collection." Each piece is handcrafted to endure the test of time, each a legacy in its own right. Their pieces grace some of the most lavishly decorated homes in America and are a favorite of sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
