Robert Bissell: The Buffalo

Robert Bissell The Buffalo, 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.
