VISIONARY CREATORS ADD BREATHTAKING DRAMA AND BEAUTY TO PORT EVERGLADES Sculpture by Alice Aycock and mural by Leon Bedore are the newest additions to public art program
A dramatic outdoor sculpture evoking the beauty and power of natural elements and a colorful indoor mural melding street art with contemporary design, are the two newest additions to the public art at Port Everglades. Created by internationally renowned sculptor Alice Aycock and acclaimed muralist Leon Bedore, also known as "Tes One," the artworks were commissioned by Broward Cultural Division in collaboration with the Port and are part of Broward County’s robust public art program. Thoughtfully situated in a roundabout located between four of the Port’s cruise terminals is Alice Aycock’s dynamic three-dimensional hybrid of architecture and sculpture—titled “Exuberance”— that suggests waves, water, wind, and vortexes of energy. In addition to being a stunning work of art, it also is a highly recognizable wayfinding tool visible from multiple locations. Created from powder-coated aluminum, the sculpture’s color gradation from white to blue stands in strong visual contrast to the color palette of the surrounding buildings and plaza.
