A bold, contemporary sculpture of abstract figures absorbed in silent contemplation.
Artist: Michael Snape
Artwork description
In the heart of Kings Cross on Orwell Street sits the urban oasis of the Springfield Gardens, a small place for rest and quiet reflection. The shaded, leafy plaza, with its welcoming benches and landscaped gardens, invites passersby to stop, relax a while and take time out from their busy lives.
The gardens are the setting for Michael Snape’s Reflections, a bold, contemporary sculpture of 2 abstract silhouetted figures, seemingly absorbed in silent communion.
The sculpture, formed from painted steel in a muted deep red that blends perfectly with the earthen colours of the plaza’s neat brickwork, creates a focal point in the gardens.
