These two sculptures by David Černý are quite iconic. But that guy is all over #Prague. Many cities have polluted their public spaces with what they thought was contemporary #PublicArt in the last three decades. But the first thing that suffers under the density of this arbitrary ensemble are the artworks themselves. #Hannover is a particularly bad example. And it is very hard to get rid of these sculptures once they are built.

'“When I was there, there was an upgrade of #Hillbrow and #Berea. We built the #ReaVaya system. We upgraded many #parks, #libraries, community halls and other public environments. We had a wonderful #PublicArt programme which brought a lot of interest and vibrancy to the inner city. There was so much goodwill.

“But when Masondo left, the city’s leadership seemed to lose interest in the CBD. [...]"'

One of three “Ace!” sculptures, installed. Each sculpture consists of four stop-motion views of a golf ball rolling into the cup. The dimples of the ball’s surface are represented by rounded hexagonal cuts, with a crescent of dark metal for the shadow.

I hate to say anything good about Chevron, but this mosaic is a hidden gem at the station there in Gualala, CA. #PublicArt #Mosaic

Cropped photo showing a long thin strip of mosaic on the slight elevation between street level and the level of the Chevron station . It is filled with bas-relief fish and sea life, and glass and ceramic mosaic tiles of stylized currents and waves.

The entire photo shows the mosaic in context as part of the Chevon station in Gualala, CA. The height of the mosaic is a meter or so. The length is at least two car lengths. The station has a truck towing heavy equipment gassing up.

Tonight's shot of #TheKelpies is the other sculpture - the horse that is rearing its head.

This one is the more difficult of the two to shoot on its own. Especially if - like me - you arrive as the light is fading, and can't wander around that side of the park in the dark to safely find a flattering angle!

Merrion Square children’s playground. Foliage in the background with threadbare green grass lawn. Parts of a giant wooden figure are emerging from the ground: a huge foot, hands, a head. A big shoe and other artefacts are strewn around.

Dark bronze bust of a bearded man with full hair on rough granite plinth in a public park. This bust commemorates the poet and artist George Russell, known as Æ, 1867 to 1935, unveiled on the day of the 50th anniversary of Æ’s death. The bust appears to have been modelled posthumously from a Jerome O’Connor maquette.

The back of a sculpture comprising a long rectangular slab of grey stone covered with text and behind, a bronze figure with its elbow resting on something, looking out on the lawn and trees of a park. The stone inscription reads: Éire by Jerome Connor 1876 to 1943. This statue was presented by Joseph Downes and Son Ltd. in December 1976 to commemorate the centenary of the ButterKrust
Bakery, Dublin and honour its founder Mr. Joseph Downes, JP, High Sheriff of Dublin, and also to record appreciation for the support of many generations of Dubliners and for the enjoyment of the citizens of this city and all passers-by.”

A female-presenting bronze statue (allegorical figure) in green-grey bronze is sitting with one elbow on her knee and hand against her slightly bowed head. Her other arm is draped over a stringless harp. The work is called “Éire” by Jerome Connor.

Over the past 26 years, Janet Echelman has produced striking sculptures that rival the size of skyscrapers.

She says she never set out to be a sculptor of wind. But if you’ve ever explored Porto, Portugal, walked the streets of Gwanggyo, South Korea, or passed through West Hollywood, you might have seen her massive iridescent sculptures of fiber floating above cities and the millions of people in them.

Called Sea Life Celebration, it celebrates many species found
in our Atlantic waters.
It was auctioned awhile ago to aid Easter Seals.
Someone must have been donated to the Halifax waterfront
(The fibreglass dolphin was created by Easter Seals and I was commissioned to paint it. )
I love #publicart on display and think we need more of it.

I just love this mural. I’ve posted some time ago, but can’t get enough of it

Found it again in my travels recently.

The #rosella is astonishingly good. So too the #wombat to the right of scene in the second pic.

Painted by HaydenDewar.com in 2019, this scene complements another painted on brick, just off Acland Street in StKilda. It has the same humanoid figures and #Australiana themes.

I’ll visit that and feature it here, sometime in the not too distant future.

This mural (pictured in this post) however, is located in #Bentleigh #Australia.

Gorgeous, and intriguing huh?

#altext first pic 👇

This scene takes in a portion of a larger mural (around 20 metres wide) on a brick wall. This section of the scene is around 4 metres wide by 4 metres high, with a vibrant rosella mid flight, tilted slightly flying from left to right, zooming through the air.

The bird is looking at the observer (the camera) almost with human intelligence in its eye. Has various blue coloured wings, spread wide and individual / distinct feathers showing. Great painted detail. Very detailed.

Its back and body is adorned with red and a bit of black individual feathers and it’s head is red, darker blue chin, grey curved beak and black eye.

It’s a side shot and the bird almost has what appears to be a grin… most certainly has a cheeky look in its eye.

Riding on its back (closer to its neck) is a slim and slender humanoid woman (has breasts) in a teal
Coloured skin suit.

The woman has flowing blonde hair, flowing in the wind, but no face. It looks like a light brown (perhaps skin tone) disc, for a face.

It is a real fun scene.

#StreetArt for #Spoonies is up! This project is all about discovering ways for us low energy hoomans to make #publicArt . I made all the pieces at home and assembled them onsite.

Was directed to this work-in-progress by a fellow #VisualHedonist around the corner, as we were both taking pictures of a recent mural in #Mckinnon #Australia, lunchtime today.

And OMG, glad I went to have a sticky-beak!!

Such #feminine elegance forming here. Accompanied by leaves, perhaps some roses and plenty of #fem #love!!

I’d suggest this gorgeous piece is about halfway complete and the detail (face, neck, arms, fingers, surrounding scene etc) will take the longest to complete; will be painstaking. Just guessing.

I can see this coming along beautifully, with shading and more depth to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete.

Justine, the creator of this emerging masterpiece took a little time out to chat to passers by and me. This accomplished artist is a marvel to speak to and you can see why she’s an angel who paints from the heart. Just wow and… gosh!

Painting is partially complete; I’d suggest half-way done, with the basic layers applied on a brick wall about 20 metres in length and 7-8 metres high. This building is an eye sore, an old brown brick telephone exchange building, I know it well.

The main feature of this creation is a young woman’s face, most likely mid-twenties, pretty, tanned complexion, black hair and red lipstick (face is not complete), with her hands framing her face, blue fingernail polish on right hand (left not yet complete). Her face is surrounded by a sea of blues, purples, reds, pinks and subtle oranges which are to become leaves and foliage of some sort… perhaps in bright and dynamic, typical autumn colours going by the aesthetics thus far! Also roses or some other flower forms are in the making too. I can see this coming along nicely, with shading and more depth and detail to come. This will look absolutely breathtaking once complete. Just wow.

This is awesome.

There’s a similar mural set in #bentleigh (same artist for sure, not signed), but these in #stkilda #australia, just off Acland Street are something else.

The detail of the bat’s features are gorgeous.
