    About this sculpture:

    This sculpture is part of a series of sculptures monuments Titled ‘Unwanted Monuments’. 

    On a site visit to Kingston, with this sculpture in mind, I liked the idea of it sitting it outside a prominent building, in this case the Market House and at the back, so it can be discovered. I imagined the sculpture being just off the entrance, almost like the positioning of a children’s coin operated ride outside a shop. 

    PTO

    The sculpture encourages to viewer to touch and even sit on.
    The significance of using a goat in this sculpture relates to the historical use of goats in imagery and art, as gods, devils and a symbol of endurance. As an animal it lives and survives in so many different environments and has adapted to survive from deserts to mountains and much more. 

    Having grown up in Surrey, Kingston was always a place of different sensations, from the size as a young child, to an edgy music scene as a teenager  to working in a dry cleaners as my first proper job and the growth of a modern town with The Bental Centre. 

    As its a monument I felt it really had to be in a traditional material, so bronze was the best choice. The goat stands proudly and strong, almost military, the cone I hope removes the seriousness of the Goat and makes it more accessibly to the viewer and has a relationship with modern life.

  • Alamat by Marian Ironmonger – £5,000

    Alamat by Marian Ironmonger – £5,000

    Alamat:  Legend

    Edition of 10 in bronze resin

    H64cm x W52cm x D26cm

    £5000

    Alamat, is an interpretation of a well-known Philippine legend:  The Origin of the Philippine Islands.

    In the beginning, there existed only the boundless sky (Langit), the tranquil sea (Dagat) and, between them, the fickle wind (Hangin) in the form of a bird.

    One day the bird grew weary and thought of a way to amuse itself by cunningly pitting the sea against the sky.  In her agitated state, the sea surged, crashing her waves against the sky.  In defence, the sky hurled down rocks to supress the waves, eventually calming the sea. 

    The bird, gratified, smugly perched on the rocks which eventually formed the Philippine Islands.

  • Siren Song by Damon Price – £3,750

    Siren Song by Damon Price – £3,750

    ‘Siren Song’

    Unique edition in bronze.
    Size 60cm 24cm x 16cm
    Price £3,750

    This piece is inspired by the poem “Siren Song” by Margaret Atwood. 
The poem addresses gender roles, seduction and vanity. 
 
This is the one song everyone
would like to learn: the song
that is irresistible:


the song that forces men
to leap overboard in squadrons
even though they see the beached skulls


the song nobody knows
because anyone who has heard it
is dead, and the others can't remember.


Shall I tell you the secret
and if I do, will you get me
out of this bird suit?


I don't enjoy it here
squatting on this island
looking picturesque and mythical


with these two feathery maniacs,
I don't enjoy singing
this trio, fatal and valuable.


I will tell the secret to you,
to you, only to you.
Come closer. This song


is a cry for help: Help me!
Only you, only you can,
you are unique


at last. Alas
it is a boring song
but it works every time.

  • Circa (Life size Female Torso by Jane Shaw – £4,700

    Circa (Life size Female Torso by Jane Shaw – £4,700

    CIRCE – Life-size Female Torso

    Also available as
    Bronze: £12,500 as limited edition of 9

    MATERIAL: BRONZE OR BRONZE RESIN ON OAK PLINTH

    MEASUREMENTS: TORSO IS 85CM HIGH, 35 CM WIDE AND 40 CM DEEP

    BASE: OAK PLINTH WHICH IS 80CM HIGH AND 35CM SQUARE

    Jane Shaw on this sculpture:
    This life-size figurative torso sculpture was a commission to be put in a walled garden in Gloucestershire.  I began this project with a small maquette in wax.  My brief was to make the torso look alluring and bold.  Therefore when I began the  sculpture in clay on a large scale, I twisted the torso to create a feeling of movement and power.  I also left many of my marks created by the tools in the clay, as I did not want the viewer to forget this was a sculpture first and foremost.

    I named this bronze figurative sculpture ‘Circe’ after the most powerful enchantresses in Greek mythology.  However, since the days of ancient Greece, Circe’s name has been related to witchcraft, deception and seduction.  But I am hoping this ‘Circe’ is just showing off her female curves and therefore the power of her body creates a lovely figurative torso in a garden, and can be a pleasure to view from every angle, or indeed at the end of a long path.

    There is nothing wrong with seduction – it should be celebrated and enjoyed and I hope this bronze life-size torso of the female body will be seen as a great example of positive female power.

  • Electric Blue Hare by Jane Shaw – £6,700

    Electric Blue Hare by Jane Shaw – £6,700

    ELECTRIC BLUE HARE – Garden Running Hare

    £6,700 in bronze resin or £34,000 in bronze (inc. VAT)

    This large outdoor wildlife sculpture of a running hare, is perfect for the end of a garden or perched on top of a hill, to be seen at every angle.   It will make you smile every time you see it in your garden!

    I have  tried to capture a hare, as it moves around the corner, and break-neck speed.  This can be cast in resin, and coloured in a patina of your choice, or it can be in a more traditional bronze resin as a limited edition of 48.  It can also be cast as a bronze as a limited edition of 9 in a patina of your choice.

    ELECTRIC BLUE HARE – GARDEN RUNNING HARE

    This bronze wildlife sculpture came to me after I did a couple of smaller hare sculptures.  I did not want to be realistic, but more an idea of ‘hare’.  The fact that I used scrim and plaster to build the sculpture really helped as I could not get too embroiled in detail!

    Hares are very discreet wildlife animals…hardly to be seen by the human eye. They run fast, at speeds of about 45 miles per hour, making them the fastest wild mammal in the UK.  What is more, they can speed up and slow down in seconds, hence why they have the ability to change direction incredibly quickly.

    So I wanted to show a hare doing just that –  twisting around a corner fast.  I  made it absolutely vast in order to create a statement piece for the garden.  The ears are exaggerated and so are the long legs and big paws.  The movement in the body is accentuated by the way in which I have layered the scrim and plaster.  This creates strong gestural strokes.  Whilst I had the hare sculpture cast with an electric blue patination, you could have a more traditional finish like foundry bronze or a colour of your choice.  It can also be cast in iron (rust colour).  As a bronze, it is produced as a limited edition of 9.

    This wildlife sculpture of a larger than life hare looks amazing at the end of a long vista or on top of a slight hill or in the middle of a park.  The sculpture holds its own space.

    William Dartmouth has purchased one of these hares and says: “I am delighted with Jane’s charismatic sculpture of a quintuple life-size hare in electric-blue resin. The sculpture adorns the approach to The House and is both artistically brilliant and fun. My teenage son thinks so too.”

    This sculpture can be cast in bronze as a limited edition of 9 or in bronze resin as a limited edition of 48.  In all cases, it can be patinated to order.

    KING OF THE CASTLE – LIFE-SIZE JACK RUSSELL

    Jane Shaw on this sculpture: 
    This little fellow was a pleasure to sculpt to create an indoor or outdoor bronze animal dog sculpture.  It was a commission of a lovely Jack Russell, who was small but bursting  with character and charm.

    Jack Russell Terrier, also called Parson Russell Terrier or Parson Jack Russell Terrier, developed in England in the 19th century for hunting foxes both above and below ground. It was named after the Reverend John Russell, a keen hunter who created the breed.  Because they have a broad genetic make-up, they do not breed true to type and so are a strain of working terrier and can vary a great deal in looks!

    Whilst this bronze animal sculpture of a terrier dog was  based on a wire-haired Jack Russell, he did have quite long legs, so there was definitely a hint of parsons in him somewhere!

    As with all my commissions, I began with a small maquette in wax of the Jack Russell Terrier, and then scaled him up and built an armature of a life-size dog for this terrier breed.  I worked with clay, and built a sturdy looking body, but struggled with the head – often decapitating him and beginning again a number of times. My model was a wire-haired Jack Russell, so his face was not clean cut like many short haired dogs, and he did have a rather unique look which I tried to capture, without loosing the overall feeling of Jack Russell!  Because he had sadly died, I had to borrow another Jack Russell who would often run around my studio, never standing still, and playing with my dogs outside as I continued to sculpt this animal in clay.  Not a very good model for a bronze sculpture, as they never stand still!  But his character shone through which I loved.  I had to include the tilt of the head to one side, which Terriers often portray when they are engaged with you but perhaps don’t fully understand the human command.

  • Forever Friends (Lurchers) by Jane Shaw – £7,500 or £3,800 each

    Forever Friends (Lurchers) by Jane Shaw – £7,500 or £3,800 each

    FOREVER FRIENDS – Pair of Lurchers (life-size)

       

    MATERIAL: BRONZE OR BRONZE RESIN OR IRON RESIN

    MEASUREMENTS: STANDING LURCHER: H 68CM L 30CM D 51CM LYING LURCHER: H 46CM L 100CM W 45CM

    FOREVER FRIENDS – PAIR OF LURCHERS (LIFE-SIZE)

    Bronze: £16,000 each as a limited edition of 9

    Jane Shaw on this sculpture:
    Lurchers are special dogs and I have always found their beauty very compelling as I pass them in the street or on a walk, or visit a house full of lurchers, or whippets.  These dogs can vary in size and they can be mixed with greyhound or whippet which make them on the smaller side.  Or they can be bred with Irish Wolfhound or Saluki which would make them a lot bigger.  Generally, the lurcher is skinny with long, athletic legs, large chest, small ears and a long muzzle.

    The coat of a lurcher tends to be longer.  Whilst they can move at such speed and so elegantly, they do not need a lot of exercise at all.  In fact they are very happy sitting on the sofa for most of the day!  They are very tactile and love to cuddle up to their owner and be loved and adored.  Although the saddest thing is they do not like cats and we have in fact had to rescue a friend’s cat from their two lurchers.  They had tried to kill the cat on numerous occasions.  So, lurchers are not always as gentle as they seem!

    In this bronze sculpture of the pair of lurchers seen together, there is a huge amount of unspoken words being said between the two of lurchers and this is what I wanted to convey when I sculpted these two dogs.

    The lying lurcher is possibly about to role onto his back as the standing lurcher walks towards him to nuzzle his nose….the friendship is deep and valued as all lasting friendships should be!  We can learn a great deal from the life of a dog.

    This bronze animal dog sculpture is ideal for the garden or indeed in a larger open space inside.  They can be cast in either bronze as a limited edition of 12 or as a bronze resin or iron resin (rust) as a limited edition of 48.  You can choose what sort of finish you would like.

     

    Also available in iron and Verdigris grey colours
