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:
“Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to an human soul.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
