Large garden statues: an impressive statement
A sprawling garden, a sleek landscape, or spacious business premises call for art with volume. Where a small artwork easily fades into the background, large garden statues instantly draw the eye. William Roobrouck specializes in designing and creating monumental sculptures that not only stand out but are also perfectly in harmony with their surroundings.
Craftsmanship on a large scale
Creating large garden statues is a craft in its own right. It is not simply a matter of scaling up a small scale model; it requires profound technical knowledge. The larger the piece, the more important the construction, the center of gravity, and the wind load become.
William combines his artistic vision with pure technical craftsmanship. He personally welds, rolls, and folds heavy plates of Corten steel and bronze in his workshop. Each object is incredibly strong, safely constructed, and built to last for generations.
From design to installation in the garden
- Site visit: Together, we determine the best location, the ideal proportions, and the nature of the surface.
- Foundation: If necessary, William provides advice on or executes the proper foundation (such as a concrete footing), ensuring the sculpture is always perfectly level and storm-proof.
- Transport & installation: Using the right machinery and with the utmost precision, the artwork is safely hoisted into place and securely anchored.
The impact of size
A large sculpture acts as a visual anchor. It immediately draws your gaze deep into the garden and gives the outdoor space a clear, spatial layout. But the true magic only happens when you get closer. The scale of the work shifts your perspective; you are almost overwhelmed by the volume and completely absorbed in the story the sculpture tells.
