Deurloo is a professional sculptor who lives along the Salmon River in Idaho. His
sculptures are cast from molten bronze, but due to an elaborate and exotic patina process, they
appear to be chiseled from the granite of the Sawtooth Mountains. A combination of intense
heat and various acids and minerals produce the polish stone patinas. He feels that an exquisite
form, combined with a little mystery, will not only capture the spirit of the animal, but will
allow a viewer to bring his own experiences to play in the appreciation of his works of art. His
bison, "Prairie Patriarch", was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution for their permanent
collection in the National Museum of American Art in Washington D.C. He is represented by
over fifty galleries from Canada to Australia. Robert's awards include "Best Sculpture" in the
Collector's Society Show in Minneapolis, "Best of Class" at the National Wildlife Art Show in
Kansas City, The Knox Gallery Award at the North American Sculpture Exhibition, and "Best
Wildlife" in the Saratoga Art Show.
