Robert Bateman - Momentum - Siberian Tiger

The largest of all living cats, the Siberian tiger is perilously close to extinction. In addition to losing its habitat, the Siberian tiger is also losing its life to supply an illegal market. If the species is indeed to survive in the wild, the momentum to save the Siberian tiger must prevail.

“There is no land predator to compare with the tiger. The color enhances the charisma of this solitary and secretive animal. Of all the subspecies of tigers, the Siberian is the most powerful. The momentum in this painting is achieved by emphasizing the diagonal, and by fading the legs, belly and tail almost into the white of the snow. The undulating power of the line along the spine to the muzzle is the forward, downward thrust. The thought occurred to me that inevitably, there is a downward momentum to the population of wild tigers worldwide. This is mainly due to the illegal market for tiger parts in China, the results of the deadly myth that these parts have magical, medicinal properties, a dubious homage to the tiger’s powerful charisma."

“However, there is also a momentum of organizations pledged to protect the tiger. It is a desperate battle, and the outcome is very much in doubt. One thing is certain, in a few decades, there will be no more tiger ‘medicine,’ either because the poachers and smugglers will have seen the light or because there are no more tigers in the wild.” - Robert Bateman
