Abstract Oscar

'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Hard to believe he's all made of Marble, a true craftsman working here on Oscar Wilde.

What a statue. Everything from the wry expression, the colour, the relaxed posture. Not too many statues are lounging on a rock. Now that is a work of art.

For many years...and without giving proper credit, I have used Oscar Wilde's famous line..."I can resist everything except temptation."

BTW, great photograph.

Good work by both the sculptor and the photographer.

Aye I thought it quite impressive too, I couldn't believe the shoes were marble they look so real.

Dash it, I thought that was a Chrissie hynde original, the statue itself is an amazing piece of worK. Nice photograph, by the way.

I tell you it's worth taking a wee moment or two to have a look at some of his phrases, as so many are used regularly by folk who are totally unaware of the originator.
