The patina on this garden sculpture, tho utilized previously in numerous other Kevin Robb sculptures, exemplifies the shadows that are cast throughout the sculpture garden. On a bright lit night the definitions of shapes are minimal but the spots of brightness, shadows of darkness, and everything in between dance throughout the gardens.
Kevin Robb’s Public Art Wins over Naysayers
Public art is always fraught with complexities, but even more so in a small, tight knit community such as Wheat Ridge, CO where we live and work. The Mayor’s Public Art Initiative provided the means for the city to acquire a large, stainless steel sculpture created by Kevin. Sure enough, the Mayor forwarded an e-mail from a gentleman that was distraught over “that ugly thing you call art”.
The dedication of this sculpture was a lively event and over 150 people attended. We had no way of knowing if he was in the crowd or not. The next day we received the most wonderful e-mail from this gentleman.
