Why We love Gargoyle Garden Statues
"Artists who create gargoyle statues can express humanity and emotion in a creative fashion by using distorted or fantastic forms".
Gargoyle statues appeal to both our imagination and our subconscious. Gargoyles can take our human characteristics and exaggerate and change them to symbolise the many aspects of our personalities. Gargoyle statues can be blended with animal forms but they are differentiated from animals by the human features of imagination, creativity, humour and an appreciation of art. The very things that make us human.
Not all medieval gargoyles were intended to frighten, reprimand or threaten. In fact some gargoyles appear to have been created to amuse or entertain us. A form of popular entertainment long before the monsters of Steven Speilberg captivated todays public.
A significant number of gargoyles, even though they leer and sneer, have something very appealing about them.

Where to buy Gargoyle Statues
I have found the best selection of gargoyle garden statues at Amazon.com
. They have gargoyles designed by a variety of artists and often have sale items at bargain prices!
My favourite gargoyles are by Design Toscano but I also love and own this Dedo Garden Gargoyle Statue by Orlandi Statuary. 
In medieval times no two gargoyles were ever the same. They came in a multitude of fantastic forms; from mystical beasts to grotesque monsters incorporating the features of animals, humans and mythical beasts in funny, frightening or bizarre ways.
Today neo-Gothic artists have created gargoyle statues for our homes and gardens in a huge range of designs and sizes, from imposing life-size gargoyles to smaller, more whimsical pieces. To offer you some inspiration, these are a collection of just some of my personal favourites. What is important is that you choose a gargoyle that appeals to you, one that brings you joy or creates a dramatic statement in your home or garden.
Emmett the Gargoyle sculpture. A classic gargoyle by Design Toscano. One of the
original medieval creatures that pensively perched from European rooftops and
turrets. This muscular fellow is cast in quality designer resin with a weathered dark grey stone finish. Love the expression on his face!
Socrates The Thinker. At nearly two feet tall, this muscular gargoyle is a menacing presence flanking a garden path, joining you on the patio or sitting stately inside next to the fireplace.
