Battle Cat - Sculpture

Sculpture

A lifesize model of Battlecat was part of the 2012 Go Safari exhibition, in Northampton, and titled 'Taxi for Adam' (a reference to He-Man's alter ego, Prince Adam of Eternia). The figure was sculptured by Rory Davis and painted by Ross White. The sculpture was the sixth in the series of 'Go Safari' animals and was initially placed in Wood Hill (Near County Hall). Following some naked revellers sitting on the sculpture, and minor vandalism, it was moved to the courtyard of the Guildhall. The sculpture was removed at the end of the public art project on 2 September 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word sculpture:

    What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to an human soul.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    Ah, to build, to build!
    That is the noblest art of all the arts.
    Painting and sculpture are but images,
    Are merely shadows cast by outward things
    On stone or canvas, having in themselves
    No separate existence. Architecture,
    Existing in itself, and not in seeming
    A something it is not, surpasses them
    As substance shadow.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
