Panthère en Paris

This piece from Steve Bradbury’s “If Nature Wins” collection reimagines a familiar Paris street scene, with the Eiffel Tower  forming the backdrop. A panther — bold, confident and slightly out of place — occupies the space, bringing colour and life into the urban setting. The contrast between the structured architecture and the movement of the large cat creates a quiet tension, as if nature has begun to reclaim the man-made environment.

Painted in oil on aluminium dibond, the surface allows for strong colour, sharp detail and the signature drips that run through the lower section of the work. The aluminium gives the piece a contemporary edge while keeping it lightweight and durable. It’s a distinctly French scene with a subtle twist — familiar, but not as you’d expect.
