Limited Edition Sculptures for FNB
Renowned artist Bruce was commissioned by FNB, one of Africa’s leading financial institutions, to create a bespoke series of limited-edition sculptures representing African birds. These exclusive sculptures were designed as a unique token of appreciation for the bank’s premium clients.
Each intricately crafted piece, presented in a custom, branded wooden box, came with a personalized card detailing the inspiration behind the artwork and offering insight
into Bruce’s creative process. The initial collection featured two iconic African birds: the African Jacana and the Crowned Hornbill, with more bird species to be introduced in future editions.
This limited run was exceptionally well-received, now gracing the offices of FNB's most distinguished clients as a symbol of the bank’s commitment to excellence and art.
Lifesize Wandering Albatross for the Lobby of Grindrod Bank
Fortitude Lifesize Edition: 5
Wingspan: 3600mm
Tail to Beak:1200mm
Commissioned by Grindrod Bank for their foyer.
Featuring an impressive 3.6-meter wingspan, the lifesize Albatross proved to be a challenging endeavor for Bruce, who achieved a successful outcome. "The challenge was casting the bronze at that scale—it stood taller than me, and I'm 6ft 7in," the sculptor noted.
Now installed in the lobby of Grindrod Bank in Durban, the sculpture makes a powerful impression on everyone who views it.
