Top 5 most populous megacities worldwide
The United Nations has released fresh data on the most populous cities in the world. Let's take a look at the top megacities by population.
The Force of Nature, USA
“The Force of Nature” is a series of sculptures by Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn depicting mother nature as a woman hurling the planet around in circles. Those masterpieces have been installed at the squares, parks, streets and alleys of the cities of the whole world, from England and the USA to Europe and Asia. Many of them are located in museums of contemporary art and participate in various exhibitions and presentations.
The waving cloak and hair underscore the dynamics and movements of the static object, convincing us that the sculpture really rotates, although it does not make a single physical movement.
The Last Supper, USA
The hillside below Daylight Pass, just beyond the ghost town of Rhyolite, is decorated by a congregation of menacing, hooded figures that strikingly resemble Death himself, huddling together against the desert's void.
Conceived in 1984 by the late Belgian-Polish sculptor Albert Szukalski, “The Last Supper” beckons visitors to the Goldwell Open Air Museum like a demonic vision born of heat stroke and Satanic enchantment. Inspired by what he found to be a striking resemblance between the Mojave Desert and the Holy Land's scenic vistas, the sculptor cast these twelve ghosts in an echo of Leonardo da Vinci's painting of Christ's Last Supper. These disembodied figures of ghosts look especially mysterious at night, when they're lit from the inside with a special illumination.
Balancing elephant, Austria
Daniel Freeman, working in the genre of hyperrealism, likes to create sculptures that amaze with their unusual. The artwork always depicts an elephant balancing on its trunk, sometimes out from the wall and at other times up from the floor.
Suspended, USA
If you want to take a picture directly under an iron cube hanging in the air, then you should not worry: the Israeli artist and sculptor Menashe Kadishman reliably secured it.
Floating stone, Egypt
Another unexplained work of art appeared at Cairo International Airport several years ago. It is the surrealisе sculpture of two stones tied to each other. According to its creator, Smaban Abbas, the composition is intended to remind people who want to use the airport services that they may not worry: under any circumstances they will safely return to the ground.
Travelers, France
Artist Bruno Catalano's rather large series of life size bronze sculptures is poetically titled Travelers. The group of sculptures depict very different people but each walking with suitcase or bag in hand, a few sitting on their luggage. However, large swath's of each person's body is missing as if disappearing or torn away, the sculpture somehow still able to stand. It's as if that hole is their lost self in endless trips, and they've set out to rediscover it.
Virgins of Apeldoorn, Netherlands
The Virgins of Apeldoorn is a public installation in the Netherlands by Dutch artist Elisabet Stienstra. The sculptural work features three bronze statues of girls in varying positions, all seeming to lie parallel to the ground.
Balancing stones, USA
The American artist Michael Grabe creates sculptures from stones, cobblestones and river pebbles that are combined into real turrets. And although the Land-art can not be called durable, these amazing installations delight all those who has been in the area of Boulder, Colorado.
Planet, Singapore
Cast in bronze and white-painted sculpture in one of the parks in Singapore is amazing and makes you wonder about how such a massive structure can hover above the ground. The artist and sculptor Mark Quinn depicted in it his own little son, increasing the growth of a 7-month-old baby to 10 meters, and weight to 7 tons.
Balancing sculptures, USA
The sculptures of Jerzy Kedziory deserve special attention. They are highly regarded by outstanding scientists and art critics and all who have seen them. How these rather heavy sculptures soar in the air and do not turn over under the influence of wind and their own gravity, remains the mystery of the creator.
