Artist Comment

This piece started life as a stone carving which gave it its classical influence. Starting with this, I wanted to find that point between figurative and abstract, creating a recognizable head but with abstract qualities. This sculpture came to the notice of Lord Putnam in 2000 for having the qualities he was looking for. He commissioned me to adapt the sculptured head to make a new award trophy that shared the qualities of excellence of the Bafta and Oscar trophies. Since then the award ceremony has televised each year on the BBC.

  • 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.
