About the Artwork

Saint`s Struggle against temptation statue, for Indoors Inside your home or office by Marc Bodie,  the Graphically able Sculptor.
This sculpture contains the complexities of conflicting emotions all expressed through posture and tension. You can feel the weight of the over-large halo which seems too heavy for the human body to bear. What wrong has he done or is about to do? He knows he is at the point of no return. This profound dramatic sculpture would look superb on any shelf adding a touch of drama and poetry to any discerning collectors home or office.

Artist Comment

This sculpture is one of three works from my `Dylan Thomas Series` all the pieces are inspired by the works of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (my favourite poet). This one is from the poem of the same name, A Saint About To Fall, I have given him an over large halo to represent the burden he has to carry to always be perfect in the eyes of God. The posture he is in represents his inner struggle or torment for the ultimate price he will have to pay, as a consequence for the actions he has taken, or about to take.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
