It is interesting stuff. My image of Europe, however, involves statues everywhere. I always regret that we don't have that kind of historical patrimony in North America.
ReplyDeleteLove the homage to the sea. The float is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI like any public art that makes me stop and think and look again, and these 2 examples are terrific.
ReplyDeleteSuch different interpretations of the same theme by the two different artists. I like the form of the first one which immediately suggested diving salmon to me.
ReplyDeleteHello Bill.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and beautiful artwork!
The sculptures are very impressive and lovely shapes!
Thank you for sharing! Enjoy your afternoon!
Dimi...
They are both fabulous Bill, but oh my, the first sculpture is incroyable! Wonderfully flowing lines depicting the salmon disappearing under the water ✨
ReplyDeleteThese are beautifully done, Bill, particularly the first sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea behind the first sculpture, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow very interesting. Salmon is KING out here

I particularly like the look of the first one and love a kaleidoscope so both are winners, Bill!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of amazing works of art.
ReplyDeleteFascinating art, well captured.
ReplyDeleteI like how different each interpretation is. I wouldn't have expected such an interesting view inside the egg.
ReplyDeleteI Like!
