Green Bear by Susan Le Van
Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

This is the photograph at true size, for placing it in your room with your phone. Its sides and back will appear here after the studio capture — we will not invent them.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“The Grizzly Bears are simply amazing. I was unprepared for the scale of them; their speed and grace; their playfulness; their palpable intelligence and complex social interactions.”— Susan Le Van

Over four feet wide, her largest work here. A bear in acid green crosses a field of scarlet, ochre and violet, its head lowered, the ground behind scattered with small drawn marks and collaged fragments. The colour is entirely unnatural and the posture entirely accurate. She has written about the frisson of the moment when a human and a wild animal glimpse one another, and the work is an expression of that frozen moment rather than of the animal alone.
