Description

‘Untitled [Listening]’ is a granite and bronze sculpture created by Antony Gormley between 1983 and 1984, located near the Brassey Road entrance to Maygrove Peace Park. The sculpture stands 213 centimeters tall and features a life-size nude male figure seated on a glacial granite boulder. The figure's left hand is cupped behind the ear in a gesture of listening, conveying a sense of both sympathy and vigilance. The body is rendered without detail, highlighting a sense of universality rather than individuality; for instance, the ear is depicted in a schematic manner with a small hole drilled at its center. The sculpture is made from welded sections, with the linear weld marks clearly visible. The boulder is placed on a slightly domed circular area of granite setts.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
