Symbolic Confused Man statue, by Marc Bodie,the Powerfully Thought Provoking Sculptor, who writes….
“This sculpture of a sitting male figure seemingly resting, serenely head bowed in a contemplative fashion. But look again, and closer, (for this demands more than a mere cursory glance). This figure is so tightly self contained full of pent up power like a compressed spring; all the limbs are wrapped around the figure under tension, one arm pulled hard behind and up the back. but with the torsion that is here, one would expect a clenched fist, but what was a fist, is seen unfurling, this is to me is the clue to the whole piece, it is all about the slow controlled release of a suppressed power unfurling to a waiting world. The detail is great in this piece and I love this copper circle that rises and encapsulates the figure which emphasises the contained strength in this work as if one day it will burst through. This sculpture will look gorgeous on any shelf in a well loved home adding a little bit of fascination.

- 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.
