Some impressive Sculptures, Ayia Napa

[Rannsachair]

Just been a walk around the Sculpture park in Ayia Napa, some great work around bridge that looks like an ancient ship:

Love the use of the serving plate reinforcing the shield.

Interesting stuff.
Nice use of texturesand materials. The hands have been filed away for future use.

Very clever! . I can't help but think that if they were in this country, they would be covered in graffiti

Depending on location, unlikely near me, in Argyll, Glasgow, no question. Not sure why but they graffiti road signs in Cyprus which can be a pain

id prefer that above than this monstrosity angel of the north

id prefer that above than this monstrosity angel of the north

I like them both

 

[Screwdriver]

They do nothing for me I'm afraid. Just looks like a waste of scrap.

Angel of the north is brilliant with the slight mistake of putting cessna wings on it

 

[Screwdriver]

Yes, the angel is a thing of beauty. The other stuff is a pile of rubbish.

 

[Barking Mat]

I agree with @Screwdriver, doesn't do it for me.

However, the angel, engineering and welding, double winner.

 

[Shedendman]

Rather be in Ayia Napa looking at those than in Newcastle looking at that

 

[Bullet2012]

Very funky, thank you for sharing

I kinda disagree.
That 100 pounds/dollars in recycled scrap can turn into a sculpture that you could easily 10 fold the value?
Does not seem a waste to me

I suppose it depends on whether or not it was scrap before they started.

Was back here last week, my wife liked the metal hippo sculpture:

Most are stone, also:

for what its going to cost to keep the upkeep of it

you could have built far better and if a building had been used it could be using all the good technology

though since its on a hill we could have created far better and it would cost a whole lot cheaper than a rusty looking monstrosity that does nothing

and we complain about power windmills on hills and we build that stupid angel of the north

Seems Aiya Napa has gone a bit upmarket since the last time I was there in the mid '90's!

 

[Onoff]

The stuff in Aiya Napa? Do you really like it?

Never stayed there, some nice restaurants, museum and sculpture park.
