Artist bio: Robert Shangle, lifetime resident of West Michigan, has been performing as a living statue for several years. This grew out of his creation of prize winning costumes; he has also designed and crafted unique displays and stage props for area businesses.

Robert has recently been selected as a featured artist, to compete for the title of World Champion Living Statue. This international competition will take place in the Netherlands on August 30th.
Artist statement: My passion and enthusiasm to entertain and delight a crowd never fail to bring smiles to the faces of young and old alike.
With perseverance, I will give a realistic and engaging performance that will surely turn heads and draw attention.
The new sculpture display will truly exhibit my creativity and lateral thinking personality.
