Bureaucrat 1. Sculpture - Limited Edition of 5

Story about the sculpture: I got the idea for this sculpture, which humorously depicts an official - a bureaucrat, when I was getting a building permit for minor modifications to my house. An important-looking official at the construction office sat proudly behind his desk and rattled off learned phrases. No matter what I said, no matter what I asked, no matter what my logical arguments were, he just did his thing. Sometimes it had neither head nor heels. At some moments I didn't know whether to laugh or cry - I found this story so tragicomic. I had the feeling that he was probably expecting a small bribe to settle things (this is shown by the open desk drawer in the sculpture). I tried to be accommodating, kind, empathetic towards him, even though I had my own opinion about him (to tell the truth, I told myself that he was an ox). Finally, after the third visit, I got the desired stamp on the documents from him. However, I am grateful to him because he even inspired me to make two sculptures. Sculpture is intended for all those who take even the most unpleasant aspects of life with humor. Important information: Even if I state that there are 3-5 copies of a specific sculpture, each of them is actually an original. The technique of my work is atypical and I have to model every single piece of the same sculpture again and create a mold into which the bronze is then poured. Sometimes it can happen that the work shown in the photo has already been sold in the meantime, and in the case of another order, I have to model this motif again from the beginning and have it cast into a new form. In this case, the time for sending the work is around 3 weeks, and it must be taken into account that this sculpture will differ in a few small details from the depicted work.
