Expertly created using the traditional Lost Wax Bronze Casting method, this remarkable sculpture showcases the exceptional craftsmanship for which Escar UK Bronze is renowned.

The carefully applied finish accentuates the detailed texture of the bronze while enhancing the thoughtful expression and lifelike presence that give Brains its unique personality
Standing approximately 72cm high, 55cm wide and 50cm deep, and weighing around 25 kilos, Brains creates an impressive focal point for homes, offices, galleries, landscaped gardens or wildlife collections. Its contemplative pose naturally encourages conversation while adding character, humour and artistic distinction to any setting
Celebrating intelligence, curiosity and the enduring appeal of handcrafted bronze art, Brains the Thinking Chimp is a distinguished addition to any collection of wildlife sculpture. Whether admired for its exceptional craftsmanship or its imaginative portrayal of one of our closest animal relatives, it brings personality, charm and timeless appeal to any environment
Why is Brains known as the thinking chimp?
Brains is known as the Thinking Chimp because the contemplative pose and facial expression suggest a moment of reflection. John Cox’s modelling gives the animal personality through posture rather than action. The brown finish brings out the face and body contours, while the approximately 72cm height makes the sculpture a substantial feature with an intimate, thoughtful character
