NEW sculptures have been installed across Frankston.
The five new artworks were installed late last year. The sculptures have been completed by artists from Australia, Japan, and Iraq.
Figurative Abstraction by Norton Flavel has been installed at the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre. Marsh Boat by Ayad Alqaragholli now stands at the intersection of Cranbourne Road and Baxter Street. As One by Ron Gomboc now calls the intersection of Seaford Rd and Brunel Road home. Metamorphosis – Two Spirals by Tetsuro Yamasaki has been placed at the Frankston Library Forecourt, and Vertical Wave by Hikaru Yumura is at Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre.
Frankston councillor Kris Bolam says that the new sculptures will “complement our expanding public arts and build on Frankston City’s vibrant arts and culture.”
“Council’s investment in the arts encourages community connection, wellbeing and pride of place, and our murals, sculptures and arts events have become a celebrated part of Frankston’s identity,” he said. “Discover sculptures dotted throughout the city, in parks and gardens and along the coastline which complete the City’s sophisticated blend of urban, coastal and contemporary arts and cultural experiences.”
