After the big bugs that I featured yesterday, the next art exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden was one called "Whispers of a New World" by Carolina Escobar.
Ms. Escobar creates sculptures that have an organic feel that fits perfectly into a garden setting. They remind me of the odd shapes that nature forms for plants and seed pods but they also have an alien quality to them. She makes them from wire frames and resin coated cloth forming the skins.
Carolina Escobar was living in Phoenix but I can't find any information to confirm that she still does. She is a very creative artist so I can't help wondering what she is up to these days. I featured some of these sculptures throughout the month of October in 2012 but my favorite one is here. I love it.
The garden purchased the sculpture to the right. It now sits in one of my many favorite spots in the garden.
I like them, they look original and colourful!
ReplyDeleteThose are different (strange, weird) thought provoking. And isn't that one of the things art is all about, getting us to think.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of sea creatures.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of creatures from under the sea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steve and RedPat. They certainly are beautiful and very creative.
ReplyDeleteLess scary than the bugs, but still . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Oh my gosh this is why I love the creativity of the artistic mind so much Sharon. I remember the sculpture you put a link to, they are really all tres fabulously alien, the Botanical gardens make such a brilliant gallery 💜
ReplyDeleteVery creative and colourful. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThey're very different and unique. They look like they fit perfectly into the garden.
ReplyDeleteThese are very different.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical, colorful, and interesting. I do like the one you posted a few years ago by the same artist. It's wonderful.
