July 15, 2014- Castlegar Sculpture Walk Sculpture of the Day “Whisperer”

Yes, it has been a few days. This heat wave has melted my ambition for writing so I think my blogging will cool down until the temperature does the same.

Intricate. Beautiful. Blue.

Noelio Gonzalez has crafted an amazingly colorful mystical piece called “Whisperer” that stands tall and open to your interpretation between multiple sculptures outside of Castlegar’s City Hall and RCMP Offices.

I like to think of “Whisperer” as an incredible blue dragon but you can let your imagination create your vision for what it is. Regardless I think we can agree that “Whisperer” is a beautiful spectacle sparkling in blue.

“Whisperer” comes to us from Noelio Gonzalez, an American sculptor from Florida. You can learn more about the whimsy of “Whisperer” by clicking here.

June 17, 2014- Castlegar Sculpture Walk Sculpture of the Day “Mobius”

Today's Sculpture is an abstract beauty in blue! This is the first abstract sculpture to be featured as part of my blog series on Castlegar's Sculpture Walk. 

"Mobius" is a smooth, eye-catching steel ring that stands out on Columbia Avenue in front of its business sponsor the Element Club, Bar and Grill. I love the simplicity of Mobius and the angles used to create more this elegant ring that almost takes on a different form from every angle you view it from. 

Strong, simple and bright "Mobius" comes to Castlegar from Christopher Peterson who is another BC artist! Peterson is based out of Argenta, he is also a repeat exhibitor on the Castlegar Sculpture Walk. 

There are thirty-two pieces on Castlegar's Sculpture Walk this year; it is about time I got to an abstract one! For more on Christopher Peterson and his sculpture "Mobius" click here.
