Not especially huge but it was odd going past Dashi Namdakov's feline statue at Marble Arch last year because it kinda looked like the statue of the demon Pazuzu from the Exorcist.

Dozens of gigantic, if not terrifying, presidential statues lost and alone in a field:

Really didn't need to see an upskirt pap of the jolly green giant.

there used to be a statue in Ohio called Touchdown Jesus, but it was struck by lightning and burned (before and after pics below)

Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 03:26 (eight years ago) link

yep. for some reason Colin Firth's shirt in Pride and Prejudice was trending on facebook so I had to jog my memory, and that was one of the google image search results

i remember when that was in the serpentine - there were some other large sculptures there as well, a large hand iirr. anyway I swim there p much daily during the non-winter months, and swimming around and under them felt bloody odd, like I was a Lilliputian or something.

not gigantic, but there's a starved boddhisatva statue at an arts center I was at yesterday that is modeled after Kate Moss

μpright mammal (mh), Friday, 3 June 2016 17:26 (seven years ago) link

Another one from the same Irish sculpture park as the boddhisattva:
