#50 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Jenny Steele and is located outside Sheffield Arena. The design was inspired by the artist’s trips to visit the ‘art deco’ architecture of Miami Beach, Florida. The Bear features a myriad of decorative patterns painted in tropical colours on the building façades.
