The Buffalo - 1000pc Jigsaw Puzzle by Pomegranate

2016 A polar bear swimming amidst tropical sea horses and sunbeams? Part magical realism, part climate change narrative, Robert Bissell’s The Buffalo, featured on this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, reflects on the interconnectedness of our multidimensional world. Bissell’s explorations of zoomorphism—portraying humans as non-humans (often bears)—prompt us to ponder the environment, death and renewal, the stages of transition, and the mystery of life.

In Robert Bissell’s magical realism paintings, animals are a mirror for human existence, self-definition, and reflection. Bissell grew up on a farm in the English countryside, immersed in a world of animals and literature, and he incorporates both in his art and writings. His explorations of zoomorphism—portraying humans as non-humans—prompt us to ponder the environment, death and renewal, the stages of transition, and the mystery of life. He invokes a sense of peace and harmony in his allegorical paintings and dreamy landscapes, and continually investigates the nature of spirit. He divides his time between London and San Francisco and exhibits regularly in the UK and the US.
