Alfonso Calleja, "tiger" Animal Sculpture, 1970s, Concrete / Cement, Polychrome, Art Brut
Artist: Alfonso Calléja
Reinforced concrete tiger signed by Alfonso Calléja. Circa 1970–80. Naïve art, almost raw in its originality!
The world of Alfonso Calléja, who devoted most of his free time to creating animal sculptures in cement, came to life in his garden in Gujan Mestras (Arcachon Bay).
This art of outdoor sculpture is admirable and referenced in this article from the LAM:

The work was stabilized and repainted by our restoration team to restore the sculpture to its original colors (see photos on the website above, taken in the artist’s garden).
Dimensions (excluding the base):
113 cm long x 52 cm high.
Base: approximately 15 cm high.
