| 'Liberty Grip' by Gary Hume. |
Continuing my blogs about the various pieces of public art to be found along the Olympian Way, around the Greenwich Peninsula, I give you what I consider to be the strangest... 'Liberty Grip' by Gary Hume.
This intriguing piece looks peculiar from whichever angle you view it from, making it one of a great piece to enjoy.
Brief History
Made of patinated and painted bronze atop railway sleepers, this sculpture consists of three sections. Each piece is modelled on the arm of a store mannequin, resulting in the form being caught between representation and abstraction.
This monumental bronze casting contrasts starkly with the candy-pink patina at the end of each limb.
The dimensions of the sculpture are 553 x 297 x 190 cm (217 x 116 x 74 inches).
