A SCULPTOR from Bournemouth who made a Terminator sculpture for Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking to make his mark in his beloved town.

Garry Ault, who has been sculpting for 10 years, got his first break started out in films, producing work that has ended up in Hollywood blockbusters including Captain America and Exodus: Gods and Kings.

Having finished his studies at the Arts University Bournemouth, Garry, who lives in Southbourne, decided to quit to follow his passion of bronze sculpture.

Presenting three of his most valued sculptures at the Captain’s Club Hotel in Christchurch, he said: “I’ve always had this idea of bringing modern icons to sculpting because the movie and sports stars we see now are our equivalent of the old masters like Zeus and Olympus, which would appeal hugely to movie lovers.

“I thought that if I make the well enough, then art enthusiasts will also appreciate it as well.

“This is the first time I have had three of my sculptures in my possession because they don’t usually hang around for long before someone snaps them up.”

Garry has since gone on to produce a sculpture, entitled Metamorphosis, for Frieze at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

After creating a statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger from his role in Terminator, called Arrival, and posting photos on social media, Garry quickly became a viral sensation and caught the attention of the actor in question.

Since presenting Arnie with his very own Arrival sculpture and helping to sell a couple more at charity auctions, Garry has maintained a working relationship with the former governor of California, having breakfast with him at his home and giving the film star a tour around the foundry where the sculptures are made.

Having had national and international success with his work, Garry is now looking to see if he can leave his legacy on his adopted hometown.

Originally from London, Garry moved to Berkshire when he was still young before moving to Bournemouth in 2011 and instantly falling in love with the area.

“I am trying to suggest to the council to make a bronze Frankenstein sculpture in the town” he said. “This area has such an incredible history, especially with arts, so it would be great to do something that the public can appreciate. I have put ideas forward to the council as I would love to do something like that.”
