Jim Pollock’s beloved astronomer, Neo, returns today in a brand new hand cast bronze statue release, alongside a new print, from Bottleneck Gallery! As BNG explained, “Jim’s previous print featuring Neo, the intrepid astrono-gator (or are they a croconomer?) provided a great introduction to the character, but we felt Neo needed some more dimension. We’ve worked closely with Jim and our manufacturer to create a meticulously crafted bronze statue standing at a foot tall and weighing over 5 pounds!”
Every statue purchase includes a matching, signed and hand-numbered silver metallic Neo Variant Print. There will also be a Neo Bronze Metallic Edition Print released separately. The image area of the linocut is the same “Phi rectangle dimensions” as the silkscreen release. However, the exterior border of these prints is larger making the overall print dimension slightly bigger.
The Neo Bronze Statue by Jim Pollock is a 12” hand-cast bronze statue limited to just 100 pieces. The statue’s box will come signed and hand numbered. It goes on sale at 12pm ET today, Thursday, May 20th, at BottleneckGallery.com for $1,000. The statue includes a Neo Silver Metallic Linocut Print, measuring 13.5”x21”, with a matching edition of 100 pieces.
The Neo Bronze Metallic Edition by Jim Pollock is a linocut print with metallic bronze ink and measures 13.25”x21”. It is limited to 400 pieces and will retail for $80.
