Shake Description
Shake captures an arresting moment of raw intimacy, a majestic tiger pressing its face against a surface, exhaling curiosity and softness. Etched entirely by hand using a knife on black leather, the piece showcases a masterful control of pressure, line and negative space. The rich texture of the leather contrasts sharply with the delicate etchings, highlighting the tiger’s fine whiskers, fur and the illusion of condensation in breathtaking detail.
This monochromatic piece evokes both strength and gentleness, drawing the viewer into a rare, almost playful interaction with one of nature’s most powerful creatures. The use of leather as a canvas elevates the work beyond traditional drawing, giving it both a sculptural and contemporary edge. A remarkable statement piece for any serious collector of fine wildlife or contemporary craftsmanship.
Acquired by A-list collectors including Simon Cowell and Josh Duhamel, 1805’s one-of-one pieces rarely come to market. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy work by one of the world’s foremost leather etching artists.
