Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from London. His sculptures take the form of little people sculpted from concrete in "real" situations. Cordal manages to capture a lot of emotion in his vignettes, in spite of their lack of detail or colour. He is sympathetic toward his little people and we empathise with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals. Cordall's men in grey are a little message of hope in spite of their farlorn appearance and they are there to remind you that pessimism s not common sense, it's just pessimism.

Oblivious to the casual passer-by, a tribe of small cement figures have been appearing in cities across Europe for the past several years. Left to fend for themselves amongst the chaos of everyday living, they can be found in the most unlikeliest of places.
