The mastery of taking materials that are sometimes not even very noble and shaping them to convey an idea is something brilliant. I have always liked sculptures. And when this art is combined with the possibility of viewing it outdoors, it ends up being a win-win situation.
This piece, created by Jo茫o Castro Silva, is located outside the Torres Vedras Environmental Education Center.
This piece, inspired by the Colossus of Rhodes, conveys enormous strength. Its shadow, as imposing as its structure, stands front and center, unashamedly displaying its genitals.
The power of the piece lies not only in its very nature (iron), but also in the form it takes and the attitude it conveys to those who pass by.
A mestria de colocar as m茫os em materiais que por vezes nem s茫o muito nobres, e conseguir dar-lhes forma, para que transmitam uma ideia, 茅 algo de genial. Sempre gostei de esculturas. E quando a essa arte, se junta a possibilidade de a vislumbrar no exterior, acaba por ser uma situa莽茫o de duplo ganho.
Esta pe莽a, elaborada Jo茫o Castro Silva, encontra-se no exterior do Centro de Educa莽茫o Ambiental de Torres Vedras.
Esta pe莽a inspirada no Colosso de Rodes, transmite uma for莽a enorme. A sua sombra, imponente, tal como a sua estrutura, apresenta-se de frente e sem pudor exibe os 贸rg茫os genitais.
Toda a for莽a da pe莽a reside n茫o s贸 na sua pr贸pria natureza (ferro), mas tamb茅m na forma que ele assume, e na postura que transmite a quem por ali passa.
