This commanding gold ceramic cheetah sculpture blends strength, elegance, and mythic presence into a striking contemporary art piece. Sculpted by Canadian ceramic artist Bob Acton, the cheetah sits upright and alert, its form defined by confident hand-built texture and subtle anatomical detail. The entire surface is finished in a radiant, burnished gold that transforms the animal into a symbolic guardian—part sculpture, part totem.
The gold leaf–like surface emphasizes the tactile marks of the clay, catching light across ridges, muscles, and expressive features. These deliberate imperfections give the piece a timeless, ancient quality, as though it were an artifact unearthed from a forgotten civilization. The long tail curves around the body, grounding the composition and adding a rhythmic elegance.
This sculpture makes a bold statement in luxury interiors, modern living spaces, entryways, offices, and curated art displays. Both regal and intimate, it brings forward themes of speed, protection, power, and quiet poise. A signature piece for collectors who appreciate strong animal forms, textural storytelling, and contemporary ceramic art.
