About the Artwork

Carved in relief from a beautiful deep green local stone of the Lake District, this depiction of The Green Man is wonderfully deep and holds the attention with its constant gaze. Ben has been fascinated by the carvings he has found in many of the churches and Abby`s he has visited across the UK and Europe and this is his personal take on all his findings.

Artist Comment

The Green Man has long captured my attention and whenever I find myself in any of the larger churches or Cathedrals I always make an effort to seek him out. He is nearly always high up in the rafters or under the seats of the Choir stalls, hidden yet visible. It seems that he will forever be with us, as stone carvers have for centuries been including carvings of him in many larger places of Christian worship. In my version the face is surrounded and embedded with the Oak as a symbol of strength and steadfast nature. And the green natural colour of the stone seemed to asking for him to be carved in it.

  • 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.
