Three Kids Playing with Tire Swing Bronze Statue by Max Turner captures the excitement of a summer afternoon shared with friends. A girl reaches up along the sculpted rope with her feet lifted into the air, while two boys lean into the action around the tire. The boy in a backward cap, the children's animated faces and the changing angles of their arms and legs give this bronze sculpture a lively sense of motion.
At 75 inches tall, or 6 feet 3 inches, this large children's bronze statue has the presence to become a focal point in an open landscape. Its three-figure composition rewards a walk around the piece, revealing the children's expressions, the textured tire and the integrated sculpted base. It brings the familiar pleasure of outdoor play into a lasting work of bronze garden art.
A Children's Bronze Sculpture for Parks and Public Spaces
For city parks departments, landscape architects and public art committees, the tire swing scene offers an approachable subject for a community beautification project. It suits a landscaped park entrance, civic courtyard, library garden or the grounds of a community center. The theme of friendship and shared play can give a public gathering place a warm, recognizable point of interest.
Place the sculpture where visitors can appreciate the whole group and see its details as they approach. A planting bed beside a walking path, a lawn framed by mature trees or a courtyard with room around the base can give the figures a clear setting. Review pedestrian clearance, delivery access and the mounting surface with your installer when planning a public installation.
A Playful Focal Point for Residential Gardens
In a private garden, estate landscape or residential community, this kids on a tire swing bronze sculpture recalls backyard adventures and friendships that span generations. The upright composition draws the eye above surrounding planting, while the circular tire and outstretched poses create interest from different viewpoints. Its substantial scale works especially well beside a broad lawn, within a generous garden border or near a landscaped entrance.
Lost Wax Casting and Hand-Finished Patina
This handmade bronze statue is created using the traditional lost wax casting process. Individual bronze sections are cast, joined and carefully finished by skilled artisans to preserve the sculpture's expressive details. With proper care, a bronze of this quality can be enjoyed for generations.
A hand-applied multicolor acid patina brings out the faces, clothing and modeled textures, with warm bronze tones and turquoise accents as pictured. We make every effort to keep the multicolor finish available. An all-brown bronze patina can be custom applied by request and generally requires 4 to 8 weeks. Subtle variations in color and shading are part of the hand-finished character of each piece.
