Mars Rearmed

This larger-than-life landmark work of art is now available to the public for the first time.

Constructed of 2" shards of heavy gauge iron "shrapnel", welded into an accurately proportioned skeleton, this masterpiece represents a year of meticulous work by Gulf War era veteran, gun enthusiast, and welder, Michael Head.

Standing 9 feet tall on a 2 foot steel base, our vigilant warrior looms an impressive 11 feet overhead!

"Mars Rearmed" stood as a local landmark attraction for a dozen years in the Silicon Valley coastal community of Pescadero (hometown of Intel founder Gordon Moore), before being moved to a private collection. After many years in seclusion, Mars has again become available. Who knows if, or when, another opportunity like this will arise?

Become a landmark with "Mars Rearmed"!

Sometimes mistaken as a Terminator character, or a Grateful Dead icon, "Mars Rearmed" will be what you want him to be. He is startlingly impressive in posture and stature, a warrior in his own right, and is a guaranteed attraction. With monetary potential, how could anyone let something like this get away?

Make this attraction yours!

The artist has allowed "Mars Rearmed" to be disarmed for special occasions. The removable weapon can be replaced with other accoutrements to suit the owner or the season (spear and shield, flagstaff and sign, rose bouquet and hand of doves). Whether standing guard or simply standing true, this fabulous warrior is a majestic work of art and a novel addition to any collection. Don't let this opportunity escape!

As any visitor will attest, "Mars Rearmed" does not present some vague resemblance to a skeleton or a caricature warrior. To mere mortals gazing upward in awe, this fellow expresses both lifelike determination and raw power, a sculpture like none other, and a supersized sight to be reckoned with! What an amazing addition he will make to your entrance, lobby, or collection.
 
 
 

Look at the fantastic detail in the welds and the attention to physical realism. This is an expression of art that shows passion in conception and power in execution. The painstaking task of measuring and meticulously assembling thousands of tiny iron plates is beyond comprehension. No other statue exists like this one!

One of the most unique pieces you will ever find! Make it yours!

Individually, the "deplorable" pieces of scrap are nothing. When asssembled as a larger whole with a common structure, they represent a mighty force. - anon

Do you represent a force to be reckoned with?

While the statue is magnificent in totality, close inspection of the details will show the artistic workmanship throughout. Every bit of joinery is a delightful play of voids and connections. Random shapes and sizes fuse in a rich iron oxide medley of components that come together, like an implosion of shrapnel, to make up the entire skeleton of "Mars Rearmed". And when they do all come together, the lifelike posture and airy structure make not only a powerful social statement, but a truly artistic statement. What would Mars look like in your collection? He would dominate!

You need a dominating piece, and this is your one opportunity!

From head to toe, "Mars Rearmed" will be one of the most talked about pieces you will ever own!




Artwork to own!
Artwork to show!
Artwork to employ!

Masterfully designed and welded by the artist over the course of a year, there will never be another. This giant is the one and only warrior of its kind! Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the most unique pieces ever created!

There will never be another!

 

Mars Rearmed is a reflection on my observations of conflict while in the service. It is made up of thousands of tiny pieces welded into bigger pieces welded into a recognizable whole. The little pieces in and of themselves are nothing until you see the resultant sum of their interactive worth manifested into the whole. - Micheal Head
