Teddy Bear – Original Painting

Artist: Peter Tigler
Title: Teddy Bear, 2024
Medium: Acrylic on wood
Dimensions: 24 h × 17 w inches

This original teddy bear painting transforms a familiar childhood object into a quietly uncanny and nostalgic portrait. Rendered in warm amber and sienna tones, the worn bear is captured with loose, gestural fur texture and glassy orange eyes that give the subject an unusual sense of presence.

Painted directly on wood, the work allows the natural grain of the surface to remain visible throughout the composition. The heavily grained support becomes an integral part of the image, merging background, substrate, and subject into a single tactile material presence.

A piece of contemporary object art that feels intimate, nostalgic, and slightly strange. The contrast between the recognizable softness of the teddy bear and the raw, textured wood creates a compelling tension, with variations in paint, grain, and brushwork revealing themselves on closer inspection.

Ideal for collectors seeking teddy bear wall art, contemporary still life, or original paintings that explore familiar objects through a materially expressive lens. A distinctive piece for modern, eclectic, or gallery-style interiors.
