The Bear

For the design of his Bear, artist Jim Stoten really just wanted to think of an idea that meant that he could be free to just do a painting, which led him to the idea of wrapping a flat painting around the shape of the Bear. After deciding on this, he chose to use the Bear as a canvas for a portrait of some kind, without really thinking about the Bear itself.

The process of thinking about how this portrait would interact with every surface of the Bear, was such that it became necessary to build a portrait out of an abstract pattern.
