“My house is your home” by local artist Ken Unsworth.
Another year of splendid, bigger-than-life, works-of-art are scattered along the walkway of Bondi beach to the shore of Tamarama beach. These two beaches in the eastern suburbs of NSW have been traditionally the home of Sculptures By The Sea.
The famous beach of Bondi is home to the event in NSW.
This annual outdoor-art gallery, known as the Sculptures By The Sea, gathers world-renowned artists, both locals and overseas, to showcased their artistry and creativity. Although themes are varied, most often ingenuity is characterised in each artwork. It depicts that art can be created from anything as long as the artist has the eye for transforming it to something unique and remarkable.
“Snakes and ladders” by Kiwi artist Hannah Kidd.
“Billy: The worried magician ” by local artist Janaki Lele.
Most of the pieces featured in this year’s exhibit revolves around animals, the human form and abstract structures. However, what is apparent this year is the rusty and antique-look of each pieces. This is in contrast to previous years when bright colours were the norm. Each piece, however, still has the outstanding intricate details it represents.
