I love these metal relief sculptures of fish on the fence of a modern tenement-style building on Cumberland Street in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. They feature a trout or salmon (top left), a stickleback (top right), a grayling (bottom left) and a pike (bottom right).
A walk through our local sculpture park. I've probably posted similar, but it's been a few years It's a mix of beautiful and macabre, as is fitting for our weird little city.
Lol. When at Dunedin Airport I always visit the only one of my pictures on public display. It is in the male throne room in departures :-) #art#publicart#astronomy#newzealand#toilet
Well, if this isn't one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...
This stone isn't finished yet, but it felt particularly important to see it as it was being carved.
Urdu, the language of my grandfather, memorialised in Scottish sandstone. And somehow, within the words, within the stone his presence and his experiences memorialised too.
First of the memory stones for Remembering Together Kinross has been completed by Douglas Stevens Stone. Here it is looking beautiful by evening window light.
'mindin, mair strang nor stane' is the Scots translation of 'memory, stronger than stone'.
I wonder how many people notice these angels on the cloak of the Saint Mungo statue by George Frampton at the main entrance to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow.
After hearing about it from @thisismyglasgow, I made my own way up to Stockingfield Junction on the canal today to see the new sculpture up there. I've been along there before, not that long ago, so I'm very surprised I haven't spotted it before, but it's rather fab. It's apparently a Beithir and is kin to the Kelpies at Falkirk.
There's also a (world) egg in its mouth, representing hope, but the light wasn't right to get a picture of that.

Just keep your lips to yourself.
Richard Serra, who set out to become a painter but instead became one of his era’s greatest sculptors, inventing monumental environments of immense tilting corridors, ellipses & spirals of steel that gave the medium a new abstract grandeur & a new physical intimacy, died of pneumonia on Tues at his home in Orient, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island.
#RichardSerra said his work required a lot of “walking & looking” & was “viewer-centered”: Its meanings were to be arrived at by individual exploration & reflection.
Haven’t posted much #PublicArt lately, here’s a few captures from the past few weeks. The first two are oil painting by Hugo Garcia. Also, I posted these with the Feditext app!
