The "Four Lads in Jeans" statue gets unveiled on Saturday, August 27, 2022 in Birmingham (Image via Tat Vision/ Twitter) The statue, which was given a bronze and golden tint, was built as part of the Birmingham Weekender, an arts event in the city. Speaking about the statue, the artist said that he had decided to create the statue after being inspired by Greek statues that were made of gold. The artist covered four women's mannequins with papier-mache and painted them in black and gold to create the ingenious sculptures. Those who witnessed these statues, either in person or on social media, had a diverse set of opinions to share. While some mocked the statue, others were just amused by the artist's idea coming to life. Sheldon L.
