Product Description:
Powerful, protective, and impossible to ignore, Don’t Mess with Momma is a monumental reclaimed metal bear sculpture by David Groenjes that captures the strength and unmistakable presence of one of the West’s most formidable animals.
Standing an impressive 74 inches tall, this one-of-a-kind sculpture is handcrafted from reclaimed steel and salvaged mechanical components. Groenjes carefully selects and assembles each piece, allowing gears, hardware, weathered steel, and forgotten industrial parts to take on an entirely new life. From the bear’s massive frame to the intricate details revealed throughout the sculpture, there is something new to discover from every angle.
The title says the rest. Don’t Mess with Momma celebrates the fierce, protective nature of a mother bear while bringing Groenjes’ signature combination of wildlife, imagination, and industrial craftsmanship to a truly commanding scale.
Natural patinas, aged surfaces, welds, and mechanical textures remain visible throughout, preserving the history of the materials and ensuring that no other sculpture will ever be quite like it.
At more than six feet tall, this isn’t a piece that quietly sits in the corner. Don’t Mess with Momma owns the room.
