Bunny Boy Sculpture (Bronze - Deep Cherry Patina)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
The Bunny Boy sculpture is a bronze limited edition, here rendered in a Deep Cherry patina, measuring roughly 4.5 x 3.5 x 3 inches. Produced in a run of 10, it follows earlier Chocolate Brown and British Racing Green patina variations of the same figure, each iteration limited to the same tight quantity.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: The newest patina for this bronze limited edition piece is “Deep Cherry”, and like the “Chocolate Brown” and “British Racing Green” (seen in our studio visit) iterations before it, will produced in a run of 10 and cost. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Bunny Boy is one of Faile's signature characters translated into cast bronze, and the patina-by-patina release strategy makes each finish its own miniature edition. This is Faile working in a fine-art sculptural medium, a meaningful departure from the paper and wood works that dominate their catalog.
Collector Perspective
With only 10 in this Deep Cherry finish, the piece is very scarce, and the patina variant materially affects which collectors pursue it. Bronze weathers handling well, but authenticity of the numbering and provenance across the distinct patina runs is the key due-diligence point.
Historical Context
Faile expanded into bronze editions around this period, releasing the Bunny Boy figure in successive patinas including Chocolate Brown and British Racing Green documented in studio visits. Deep Cherry was the newest of these finishes, extending a small but deliberate sculptural line within the duo's practice.
