About the Artwork

This Female Buzzard, with Art Deco styling, is a life sized and life like patinated foundry bronze, by Ama Menec and a limited edition of 12. Due to a successful show at the Royal Academy 2015, this edition is is now more than half way through. The weight is an estimate as each of the edition varies. The base include two deep tapped holes to bolt this piece in place for outside display.

Artist Comment

The start of this sculptural project was from a front view photograph of a Buzzard being part way from being relaxed to being alert. It is something that the naked eye would never see, and it was this a-typical pose, an image taken at just the right time, giving the pose a tension between these two states that sparked the idea to capture the moment in full 3D. Female raptors are always bigger than the males, and as sculpting large is more satisfying to do, and as I like to confound peoples preconceptions about strength and power and gender, I chose to make this a Female Buzzard. As a result, this sculpture is as big as Buzzards ever get in the wild.

  • 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.
