BORN IN
Germany
KNOWN FOR
Animal sculpture, taxidermy manikins
For the past 40 years, Mick Doellinger has focused on sculpting animals, but his fascination with wildlife, nature and art reaches back to his earliest memories. From his first terracotta sculpture of an Aboriginal (at the age of eleven), on to bronzes of Kangaroo, Alaskan Moose, European Red Stag and African Rhino; Mick’s subjects span the globe and show his varied interests.
Having spent his entire life working with animals in some capacity, Mick’s life-long accumulation of knowledge has given him unique insights into the anatomy, movements and behavior of his subjects. He believes all his time in the field, studying the subjects & environments they occupy, is critical to his creative process.
