Originally posted by Arjay Bee Public art of another kind, this impressive sculpture overlooked the beach near Cottesloe Beach on the Western Australian Coast. From the side it seems 'solid' but from the rear it is made from a weathered steel lattice that is quite ephemeral given the size and nature of the construction - brilliant. MX TMax 100 M50 1.7
The surfer-sculpture is clever and practical = minimum resistance offered to oncoming wind & waves. I'm not a fan of all modern art, but I've seen many modern sculptures that really are wonderfully imaginative, original, intriguing creations. Somehow artists working with metal, wood, stone, etc made some sort of breakthrough perhaps three or four decades back such that they felt freed and inspired to do wonderful new things.
