‘Seer of the woods through the Trees’ Cold Cast Bronze 51Hx59Wx33D cm ‘Seer of the woods through the trees’, portrays a Bornean Orangutan. This close relative of man has been hunted, sold, and shot as trespassers in their own backyard and as a result, reducing their numbers to critical levels. Biodiversity loss is the main cause of their decline. Palm oil is the number one cause of deforestation. Targeting awareness campaigns to help people recognise unsustainable palm oil in products, and conforming to ethical and moral principles to stop the exploitation of these animals, is the key to unlocking a more stable future for our cousins. In doing so, we will also protect the natural biodiversity in which the orangutans live. Reducing the imminent threat of global warming and in doing so, saving us all. Orang Utan or’ Person of the forest’ as their name directly translates, are the ambassadors for change, for they are the visionaries of the forest, who would prefer to see the woods through the trees. It begs the question, who are we to call them primitive?
The Seer of the Woods through the Trees,
This piece has bought 46 acres of rainforest in the leuser region of Sumatra. A part of a corridor that joins fragmented areas of rainforest, so that animals can migrate safely

- 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.
