Last spring, the Murray Hill stretch of Park Avenue was awash with swimmers ready for summer. This year, 9 monumental, bronze works of art by artist Bruno Catalano are turning heads along the famed avenue. Catalano's "Travellers" is art like I have never seen before!
Catalano’s bronze sculptures, are known for their distinct fragmented form; with the pieces seemingly floating as if they were an illusion rather than a work of art. These are meant to highlight the themes of travel, migration, and journeying. The sculptures, with their substantial sections missing, are a metaphor for the artist’s own feelings of incompleteness caused by his extensive travels. They were really something else!

Some of these missing pieces really wreak havoc with my eye/brain and cause optical illusions. I love them!
ReplyDeleteThey look like the trees are part of them - really interesting!
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, they started as an Immigrants statue, with the sea in the background....
