EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of David Wynne's iconic sculpture, "Man of Fire" located at Debenhams (formerly Lewis s) on Stafford Street in Hanley, Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire. Created in 1964 and beautifully crafted from anodised aluminium, this post-war masterpiece stands as a testament to both artistic ingenuity and resilience. James O. Davies' expert lens skillfully zooms in on a mesmerizing detail of the sculpture, showcasing its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship. The intense flames seem to dance around the figure's body, symbolizing passion and determination that burns within us all. Wynne's "Man of Fire" evokes a sense of awe and inspiration as it proudly adorns the facade of this historic building. Its presence serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, art has the power to ignite our spirits and illuminate our surroundings. Through James O. Davies' photography, we are transported back to 2015 when this image was captured - a moment frozen in time where light meets metal with breathtaking precision. This print allows us to appreciate not only Wynne's remarkable creation but also Davies' ability to capture its essence through his lens. As we admire this photograph today, let us celebrate both the artist behind the sculpture and the photographer who immortalized it for generations to come. May "Man of Fire" continue to inspire all who encounter it with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism
