Brass Bowl

This adorns the center of the ground floor of Rivergate Tower, AKA the Beercan Building.  The Brass Bowl has been negligent in pointing out this wonderful marble statute.

The image is slightly grainy due to me shooting this in ambient light.  Seems my batteries were not up to the chore of powering up the flash.

However, I think the image came out rather well.  But you should visit the image in person, and see for yourself.

As I indicated in my previous post, new sculptures are popping up downtown.

Here is a piece (again, untitled and uncredited) located in Gaslight Park.

To  me, the components are arranged in a cascade, and I get a sense of downward motion when looking at this piece.  Not in a falling down manner, but rather like returning to earth.

What do you think?

New art is being displayed in several locations in downtown Tampa.  This piece, displayed without an artist’s name or title, is on Franklin St, just north of Madison.

I like how the artist incorporated  a bit of unbalance in the piece, with one side being larger than the next.  To me, it illustrates how love and life can be asymmetrical at times.

This colorful piece is the second sculpture by Cecilia Lueza (the first being what I called Art in the Park, but the correct name is Landing).  Both of these works show high contrast and vivid colors.  I like it!.

This is another piece of many located along Franklin Street, north of the pedestrian mall.  The second picture shows some of the details in the work.

Surprisingly, this artist also has also had artwork shown here at the Brass Bowl.  Equilibrist, which I title Balance Walker, was shown earlier this year, won the ArtLoud Grand Prize.
