Moving to another part of Paolozzi's work sculpture, " his sculpture has varied greatly in process from material and imagery, sometimes responding to the new tendencies of the time (Langmuir, 2000, p.515)". Most of his sculpture are abstract human figures and applied in methodology of collage. Where in the mid-1950s he created a series of figure sculptures representing a standing human made out of old machine parts for instance, figure Circa in 1957. This sculpture has only body without head and arms also; the legs appear heavy and difficult to move. It's appears damaged from the irregular contours effect. The sculpture represents the emergence of cybernetics in the arts that led, to combine electronics with human capabilities.

some picture about mosaic mural : 

The range of Paolozzi's work was very vast in art field so that it included different aspects. " His later work included several large public commissions, for example mosaic decorations for Tottenham Court Road underground station in London (Chilvers, 2009)" in the early 1980s. The themes of mosaic drawings were inspired from elements of everyday city life, which represent our normal social days. Some of them were inspired from the locations inside the tube station. For example, the Rotunda which there are specific symbols on the sides of the road; a running commuter human, a fast-food chicken and hamburger. These symbols are reflecting the atmosphere of each area. In the other hand there was diversity of colors, which gives the mosaic a beautiful view. Eduardo chooses the mosaic style for the underground station because of its greater flexibility in creating intricate forms, and because it is more striking at close quarters. The mosaic mural was big 990-1000 square meters. At present the mosaics mural has been damaged to accommodate a safety notice but it still considered as the unique and best work of London life art.

To sum up all, Eduardo Paolozzi has an artistic soul that give him the power for creating a unique pieces in different aspects of art field over his life. His work included abstract sculpture, printmaking, collages, ceramics and textiles. Most of his work goes about his passionate interest in science and technology. His sculptures consist of elements that can be later metamorphosing into Pop due of this, he considered “the first artist who brings the pop art to Britain (Hawksly, 2011, p.118). For his work materials, always used a variety of objects and materials related to the idea but at the same time can’t be expected. Moreover, they call him the ‘god father ’ of the pop art because of unique production in his Bunk collage collection in Tate gallery. Also Modernism and surrealism had a big impact on him that the viewer can sense in his work. In his last days Eduardo suffered from disease and died in the hospital in London on 2005. Eduardo Paolozzi art works considered nowadays as good resources in the history of pop art. Raises the question of whether, there will be any of the new generation artist work will be as good or valued as Eduardo paolozzi works.
