Reflections
About the Sculpture
Originally exhibited on Park Avenue in New York City in the summer of 2013, Reflections was transported to Lincoln that December. This style of the artist's sculptures is fluid and elegant as opposed to jagged and jarring. The sculpture was purchased using a private donation of $100,000 and was placed in the roundabout on 9th and Arena Drive with the artist's approval. Reflections earned a prominent spot in Lincoln, and is able to be seen from I-180 with LPPAD's recommendations. (Lincoln Partners for Public Art Development)
About the Artist
Albert Paley is an American modernist metal sculptor. Initially starting out as a jeweler, Paley has become one of the most distinguished and influential metalsmiths in the world. Within each of his works, three foundational elements stay true: the natural environment, the built environment, and the human presence.
"My involvement with aesthetics has gone through various phases over the years. In this evolution the constant has always been my focus on personal awareness and perception. My investigation in form development centers on the exploration of material characteristics, related processes and technologies. In creating a work of art, besides my personal experience, my concern is how it emotionally and intellectually engages the viewer. Through the creative process I have developed a personal visual vocabulary fundamentally based in symbolism and metaphor which is implicit in my work."
