Bring a touch of whimsy, myth, and history to your space with this pair of satyr statues, created by celebrated Australian artist Colin Colahan (1897–1987). Known for his evocative portraits and public sculptures, Colahan was a prominent figure in the Australian Tonalist movement. Today, his pieces are featured in state galleries in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane… and now Building Value.
These statues capture the mythical satyr, a woodland creature from Greek mythology known for revelry, music, and mischief. With textured fur legs, curling horns, and expressive faces, each figure holds a vessel aloft, as if inviting you to join their eternal celebration. Cast in bronze and finished with a rich, weathered patina, they embody both the playful spirit of the myth and the refined artistry of Colahan’s sculptural vision.
Designed to endure outdoors, they make striking focal points in gardens, entryways, courtyards, or fountains, adding a timeless narrative element to any space. This rare pair offers not only a glimpse into ancient myth but also a tangible connection to the legacy of a world-renowned artist whose works continue to inspire collectors and historians alike.
