Baloo, 26,5×18,5 cm, pencil, charcoal, oil and acrylic on canvas, glued to carton, mounted with a nail on MDF, 2025/2026.
Bear Baloo, aka the loneliest bear on earth, has been imprisoned for 23 years in a small cage in a ski resort owned by a rich businessman in Romania. A long term petition to free Baloo led to thousands of signatures, still the owner refuses to release him since he claims the bear is his property.
