Selected works from RMIT Culture collections and International Collections

Lenton Parr, Cetus, 1978 - 1979

From when I was a high school art student to now, a soon to be fashion design graduate, I have always loved 3D forms of art. This work by Lenton Parr encapsulates my love for sculpture not only through the form of the piece itself, but the context in which we view it. The presentation, the lighting, the shadows formed on the surface it is placed on, these attributes I believe truly enhance the depth and dimensions of the black paint and the smooth curves of the surface of the steel.
