Sculpture \"Human\" by Robert Cole.

¶ … sculpture "Human" by Robert Cole. Specifically it will critique the sculpture. Cole's work is modern art in large format, and this sculpture is no exception. It is created out of stainless steel, stands 9-feet tall, and is imposing and beautiful at the same time.

I think this artwork is modern, and can be loved by all ages. It looks like part of a man viewed from one angle, but from another angle, it looks like a guitar, which shows that everything (and everyone) are not exactly what they seem. Cole also uses free form abstract shapes in the sculpture that makes the artwork look more open and appealing. This shows that as humans, we should have nothing to hide, but of course, we always do. Cole's "Human" has nothing to hide, inside or out, but it is still complex and many-faceted.

A also like where the statue stands. In the spring and summer, the planter below the sculpture is filled with flowers, which makes it seem as if the statue is standing in a meadow or a field of wildflowers, which gives it a wild and outdoorsy quality. The way the sculptor created shapes inside the shape itself make the light on the sculpture change and alter throughout the day, casting shadows here and there in random patterns. It makes the sculpture more interesting and effective, I think.
