  • A sculptor shapes the female form of an oversized woman sunbather  made from sand on the Thames foreshore on London's South Bank. Working with great care and patience  the artist who is a well-known character on this stretch of low-tide beach uses a yellow bucket and a wide shovel to dig  then work the soft sand into this shape of a giant reclining female who apparently wears a bikini and a hat or some kind. Come the changing tide however  his showcase will disappear beneath the capital's river waters that will soon lap against the south bank riverside at Gabriel's Wharf.

  • Hidden beneath the cover is a bronze statue, by the sculptor Philip Jackson of Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for Indias independence from British Rule on 15th June 2020 in Londons Parliament Square, United Kingdom. On its unveiling, commentators noted the irony of the statues placement near the statue of Sir Winston Churchill that also stands in Parliament Square. Churchill, who strongly opposed Indian independence, famously once called Gandhi a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal palace. The Telegraph of Kolkata noted that the fact that Gandhi and Mandela now stand alongside a slew of white men in Parliament Square is proof of how much England itself has moved away from Winston Churchills views on racism and imperialism. The statue was boarded up to protect it from attacks by far-right extremists.

  • Remains of the stolen Barbara Hepworth sculpture Two Forms (1969) stolen from Dulwich Park where it was installed for 40 years. Dame Barbara Hepworth DBE (10 January 1903 – 20 May 1975) was an English sculptor. The sculpture which is insured for £500,000 is believed to have been stolen by scrap metal thieves who entered the unprotected park at night on Dec 19th 2011. The bronze piece, called Two Forms (Divided Circle), was cut from its plinth overnight, Trevor Moore of Dulwich Park Friends said.

  • Starting in the 1950s, sculptor Antone Martin fashioned concrete into over 35 Biblical figures. Despite the apparent theme, he created the park as his personal statement of peace rather than religious devotion. Statues dot the hillside above the Evangelical Free Church. There are groupings of disciples listening to the Sermon on the Mount, apostles and other biblical characters in discussion or contemplation. The bright alabaster sculptures of followers tend to face away from the sun, while the Messiah faces the bustling town of Yucca Valley.

  • A man hangs from the hat of Prince Henry, Duke of Viseu, at the Monument of the Discoveries at Belem, Lisbon. The man has found a way to scale part of the 177 foot (54 metre) high celebration to Henry, otherwise known as Henry the Navigator, or Seafarer. The trespasser is dwarfed by the giant, oversized effigies and the man hangs by his fingers and rests his foot on Henry's ship's sail which points out to sea. It is a clear day with blue skies and the slightly yellow stone is side-lit to show each feature of the carvings in fine detail. It is a classic scene of Portguese history depicted during the 1960s fascist Portuguese President Salazar's regime. Henry remains one of ocean-conquering Portugal's most famous of cartographers, whose explorers discovered new routes around Africa and the Atlantic. Although he was called Prince Henry the Navigator by the English, Prince Henry never actually sailed on any of the voyages of discovery he sponsored. Instead, Prince Henry established a school for the study of the arts of navigation, mapmaking, and shipbuilding. This would allow sailors to better guide their ships and to come up with new ship designs. Immediately behind Henry is King Manuel I then poet Luis de Camōes. The eight figures are carved by sculptor Leopoldo Almeida and along with the monument, were commissioned for the 1960 world exhibition to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Henry's death in 1460.

  • Tourists admire Aphrodite, otherwise known as the Venus de Milo in the Louvre art museum. The ancient Greek statue is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, created sometime between 130 and 100 BC. The Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love and beauty  and Venus to the Romans) is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm high.
