Giles Penny's 'Man with Arms Open' is a rough-hewn bronze figure with head thrown back and arms outstretched. Giles Penny came to the attention of the Canary Wharf Group when this work together with another of his bronzes: "Two Men on a Bench", also sited permanently at the Wharf, was shown as part of the Millennium exhibition, Shape of the Century. A British sculptor, Penny's work is beginning to come to prominence, amongst his patrons was Anita Roddick.
