Was Bob’s upper body really as long as his legs?

I think that's just cell phone camera fish eye and forced perspective with his leg trailing.

Amazing pic, and Paisley is well worthy of being honoured in this way.

 

[Silver Sean]

Lovely idea. But why are all sculptors so shit?

 

[Fallon]

To be fair, you can't say it doesn't capture the features of his face. I agree the pose, accurate or not, could've been more flattering though.

Lovely idea. But why are all sculptors so shit?

Because true-to-life sculpture isn't exactly a relevant school of art at the moment, but, for this sort of public remembrance, it tends to be popular. You end up in the madame toussaud realm, where it's so trivial to see photos and videos of people, that every production of them otherwise looks "off" even if, in years past, it would have been uncanny.


This has an even harder degree of difficulty, because it's based off an easily recognizable photo. That photo was the artistic production. This now, is a translation, but one that isn't really expected to say anything.

Just make this like that, was the remit. That's fucking hard! Because immediately, as we've already seen, you've got it compared to the original photo, as presented in two dimensions. Translate this thing into a whole new medium, but uh, make it the same.


Anyhow... it looks fine to me, but I haven't seen it yet, really, so I'll reserve judgment. Shit though? I don't think so, and when you consider the other attempts at popular football sculptures in recent memory, I think we did ine here.

Perhaps the sculpture is meant to be in the correct perspective if you're standing in front of it?

 

[Shadey]

I think it’s bloody beautiful.

I’m a brilliant sculptor but I couldn’t be bothered.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

I don't see the difference?

You can do Klopp’s statue.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I would have preferred him on his own.

How long until Klopp gets one?

Once he has 8 more league wins.

Does Jurgen share any similarities to Bob Paisley?
What Bob did is utterly inspirational. The statue is a fitting tribute to two of Liverpool's greats

Klopp fist pump statue.. if he was to ever have one of course..

I'd prefer the Klopp double mini jerk off.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Once he has 8 more league wins.

I think ending 30 years of pain along with a CL is deserving not to mention almost singlehandedly turning the club around.

But I guess if it took 40 years for this it won’t happen til 2060

Maybe the boom face.
