The sculpture refers to an organic tradition that informed many international artists in the mid-twentieth century yet exhibits an aesthetic firmly rooted in contemporary practice. The form is recognisable but not identifiable, conjuring comparisons to many things in the real world: clouds, organs, oceans, smoke rings. The artist (Steven Gontarski) wanted to make something that would ‘create a heart in the midst of an urban development’.
The high-gloss lacquered surface renders the sculpture fluid, as though it was in the midst of change. Its scale allows for constant transformation as people walk past and around it, appearing from some angles solid and monolithic and from others floating and ethereal. Sunlight will create striking shadow patterns that will change throughout the day. Gontarski’s sculpture is a bold and welcoming invitation into and through the Piazza."
Sorry, but I don't find anything remotely welcoming about a blob of shiny red plastic.
