Artist`s Description….
“The work has been cast from a hand-crafted wax model. It can be displayed both indoors and outside and has a fixture incorporated allowing it to be secured to a base. Although the work on display is a 16cm bronze, the Giullare can be produced in various materials up to a height of 1 metre.

Artist Comment

My sculpture, at present, is concerned with both representation and formalism and was influenced by a period of study at the Italian Mint in Rome. Using the human form as a point of departure, my sculptures are generally ironic in nature, partly created through their displacement, fragmentation and "sitelessness". The truncated human forms emerge from a virtual space and in this way, the work becomes as much about what is imagined as what is seen. The expression of the Giullare and its intentional ambiguity gives ambivalent and contrasting interpretations of mood unified by a general a sense of complicity in multiple works. The work assumes connotations of Theatricality, Drama, Performance and Farce, drawing the viewer into its Absurdity and perhaps Echoing the Gaiety, Burlesque and sometime Grotesque Aspects of our own culture. In its illusory nature, the work takes on many connotations while essentially remaining the same.

  • The ArtParkS Guarantee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee 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 acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish 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 guarantee.

    Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.

  • How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?

    From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.

    Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.

  • Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?

    When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.

  • How to Purchase from ArtParkS

    You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.

    Payment can be made by Direct Debit, cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal, though we try to avoid the latter as we have to pass on their 5% fee to you.

  • Where Can Your Order Be Delivered?

    Your sculpture can be delivered anywhere in the world, provided a delivery vehicle can gain access. For special arrangements, contact Peter at peter@artparks.co.uk or +44(0)1481 235571.
