Sun, sea, sand ... sculptures
Print Edition
More than 100 sculptures by artists from 14 countries dotted Bondi Beach in Sydney for the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition. The world’s largest annual free-to-the-public outdoor sculpture exhibition turns the picturesque Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk into a creative scultpure park.
Stunning and thought-provoking art pieces are staged against Sydney’s brilliant sunshine and turquoise sea water. Chinese artist Qian Shihua showcases a 2-meter-high red sculpture of a boy blowing bubblegum. A pair of hands are featured in Simon McGrath’s work “Virtually Melted,” holding a phone camera taking a picture of an iceberg. David McCracken presents sculpture “Diminish and Ascend,” in which a Tower-of-Babel like ladder is displayed, as if connecting the land and the heaven.
Artist Stephen King from New South Wales was awarded AU$60,000 (US$56,622) for his work “Fallout.”
“It’s great that Stephen has received the Macquarie Group Sculpture Prize. He’s been so close to winning the main prize at Sculpture by the Sea on a number of occasions with some great works. This year the bridesmaid has finally become the bride,” said David Handley, founding director of the event.
The exhibition runs through 10 November.shanghai
