Representative of the artist’s creative take on the moon landing, the pose of the astronaut is set to imply the weightlessness of the Moon's low gravity. “One Small Step: Lift Off” is a fun, beautiful, limited-edition sculpture by the mysterious artists Whatshisname.
Whatshisname knew he wanted to develop a sculpture centred around an astronaut. The initial idea of incorporating dance into these sculptures came from watching his children at their ballet classes. The fluidity of their movement and graceful poses inspired Whatshisname began to develop different styles of dance into the sculptures. The creative exploration led Whatshisname to designing several different astronaut sculptures depicting different dances.
This particular piece depicts a couple frozen in time in a magical pose reminiscent of the movie Dirty Dancing. As this dance pose requires a lot of trust from both dancers, the piece can be interpreted in many ways. “One of my favourite ways is that the right partner can be uplifting and can elevate one another figuratively speaking” the artist told us.
This piece is a Cast Marble Resin with a Chromed Visor. This piece is also available in a set of three.

An original work of art is a one-off piece - painting, sculpture, mixed media - which is made by the artist themselves. When you buy an original piece of work, it comes with the knowledge that you own something incredibly special; almost a piece of the creator themselves. A limited edition is a translation of an original piece and there is a fixed number of these made. The piece will be signed by the artist, and the edition number will show you which number in the series you have purchased. Read more about the different types of art we sell here.
We do offer an installation service should you need assistance. You can contact our art consultants for further information here. Please note that this is currently only available in mainland UK.

Unapologetically provocative, Whatshisname (aka Sebastian Burdon) fuses themes of childhood nostalgia and pop culture to create artworks that inspire happy and joyful feelings. His witty creative alias - inspired by his difficulty remembering artists' names - reflects his art, which has ruffled more than a few feathers in the industry.
In 1995, we opened our first-ever gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. With just one goal in mind - to make our art accessible to all - our fledgling company began to spread its roots.
Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.
Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
