elle est magnifique cette statue, la découpe lui donne une impression de vitesse. superbe
ReplyDeleteit is splendid this statue, cutting gives an impression speed to him. superb
We were in the park at Brighton once and saw the surprising extent of that community enjoying their get-togethers. It was memorable.
ReplyDeleteNice statue. Very modern.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, What a wonderful form.
ReplyDeleteSally - the statue is very intersting and also puzzling. I'm trying to interpret the vertical fractures. The statue's face is triumphant but he may be breaking apart in exhaustion. How do other viewers interpret it? My son is running a half marathon in October and I don't want him splitting apart!

Impressive! He looks exhausted but he won! One of the hardest sports - apart from the Tour de France...of which, at the moment, the least said the better.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot in a beautiful setting.
What a creative idea...your phot is very nice...he appears to be ready to take off.
ReplyDeleteIt's very original and I like it so much !!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting contemporary interpretation of a classical figure.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather in Sydney is fabulous. I love winter and am missing the cool weather.
ooo..
ReplyDeletevery nice statue. it looks as if it has been broken into two, but its not.
I'm so glad you got around to photographing Brighton-Le-Sands. It's one of my favourite local artworks, if you hadn't already noticed. Cheers.
