The lion is Sated, by the remarkable Thomas Brown The Lion`s belly is full and round, and he Rests, gently licking his paws clean after hunting and devouring his prey.
The animal`s immense strength, even in this passive pose, is conveyed through the powerful musculature and elegant anatomy. The coiling vitality of the mane expresses the awesome potential energy held within the creature`s recumbent frame.

Artist Comment

The piece is worked traditionally with only hand tools. Carved in hard French Lime stone with rich warm veining running throughout. I aim to carve a partner for this piece, a ravenous lion, preparing to leap from its plinth and pounce upon its prey.

  • 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.
