Paparazzi

Charlie the paparazzi dog stands, camera at the ready, looking expectantly at the new law courts in Hunter Street Newcastle.

The bronze statue is the creation of Sydney husband and wife art team Gillie and Marc.
Wonderful...Especially with the camera .I so like their work..

Funny!

Newshound!! Clever

Fantastic sculpture - but the hound head is rather disturbing !!
August 24th, 2019  
Haha! Love it! Sounds like a perfect place to be situated too!
August 24th, 2019  
... and they must have been paid well for this! Better than abstract though!

very appropriate for you Babs. I've seen similar doggie bronzes at the Sculpture by the sea Bondi and Salamanca in Hobart.

A beautiful work of art. I like the concept of having a paparazzi statue just in front of the law courts. Very significant.
August 24th, 2019  
Love it
August 24th, 2019  
So perfect that he’s by the courts, ha!

@maggiemae I think Charlie the paparazzi costs around $40,000

@pusspup There are two at Soldiers Point marina. One is the dogman and rabbitgirl Table of Love and the other is Dogman and Rabbitgirl on a scooter. There is also a dogman statue at Maitland art gallery and that is titled Fetch. It is a dog picking up his own poo.

They cost a fortune and I think this one is around $40,000

Interesting statue.
August 24th, 2019  
Thats a pretty cool statue
August 24th, 2019  
I wonder why they chose a dog as a photographer?
August 24th, 2019  
Great statue
August 24th, 2019  
A fun and cool find! FAV!
August 24th, 2019  
Ha This made me take a double take ! Wonder what was the inspiration behind this -
August 24th, 2019  
You are finding some really interesting things, Babs. Great shot.
August 24th, 2019

Like the image of this statue. Great find and shot.
August 24th, 2019  
This is hysterical and also a gorgeous statue
August 25th, 2019  
Their work is very creative. So is Charlie Dogman's actual name? Good catch!
August 25th, 2019  
@olivetreeann According to the Newcastle newspaper that is what his name is.

@onewing It was fun to read about how their artwork came (and the two of them) came together- the final picture with their dog really did show how much their pieces are based on their pet- but did you notice it was crooked?! Some editor missed that one.
August 25th, 2019  
Beautiful artwork. Well find. Great shot.
August 25th, 2019  
@olivetreeann Yes I did notice it was crooked and I desperately wanted to straighten it. ha ha.
