A third shot from the Helen lempriere National Sculpture award at Werribee park today. This one is "Yellow Peril (with square eyes)" by John Kelly. John is also the artist of "Cow up a tree" which I have shown here, "Blot on the landscape" shown here, and "Luna Park Landscape" shown here. You can check out his work at his own site here. "Yellow Peril" explores 'ideas of multiculturalism, nationalism, racism, immigration' and more. It is made from steel and paint. More about the annual award can be found here. This other sculpture, shown partially here, by artist Ron Robertson-Swann is often called "Yellow Peril, but it is in fact called "Vault". John Kelly purposely refers to this piece in naming this work "Yellow Peril"
My second shot from the Helen lempriere National Sculpture award at Werribee park, is "Diver" by Tim Kyle, and is made from resin and fibreglass. "It is a surrealist imposition on the environment, a disparity open to conjecture". It is 4.7 metres tall. More about the annual award can be found here.
This week I plan to show you several works from the Helen lempriere National Sculpture award at Werribee park. This first piece is the winner of the award, and I was pleased to say this year, I agreed with the judges decision. It is by Bob Jenyns, who has won the $80,000 prize money, along with a lovely development package, and the piece is entitled "Pont deL'Archeveche". To me the piece reminds me of 'Meccano' a toy I enjoyed when I was much younger. More about the annual award can be found here.
