2020 Art on the Street Coming SoonStay tuned for the 2020 Art on the Street sculptures, soon to line Public Road in Old Town Lafayette. The 2019 collection is on display through March 23. New sculptures will be installed by April 18!
Lafayette's Permanent Sculpture Collection is ever growing. The Public Art Committee chose to purchase 2019 Art on the Street sculpture, Tilled Field.
Tilled Field
Artist: Chris Coleman
From: Marysvale, UT
Location: W. Cannon St. & S. Public Road - back yard
Medium: Corten and stainless steel
Price: $17,500
Artist Statement: The "Tilled Field" is a sculpture I fabricated in the suburbs of Bangkok Thailand. A three dimensional adaptation of an element found in a painting by Juan Miro titled, the "Tilled Field". When a farmer finishes the day and he looks back on the furrows he sees a field of undulating lines. This is also the inspiration which lead to Philo T. Farnsworth's invention of the television. Rendered in polished stainless steel it is a reflection of things past and things to come, a reflection of the human spirit! Also titled "The Eternal Flame".
For more information about this or any other Art on the Street Sculpture, visit the website or contact arts@cityoflafayette.com
