Summary
| Description |
'THE GUARDIANS' AT SOUTHBANK Walking along Southbank Promenade, on the southern bank of the Yarra River in the CBD, one can see two large sculptures, called ‘The Guardians’, outside the eastern end of the Crown Entertainment Complex. They are striking and colourful art works that immediately catch the eye and contribute to the appeal of the walk along the Promenade. These two large sculptures are carved from Italian statuary marble and clad with ceramic tiles. They were created in 1997 by the, then local, artist Simon Rigg. The square based mounting of the larger statue depicts the four elements. The smaller Guardian reveals a woman’s head looking through the hole of the larger sculpture, and hints at the source of all the images, beyond our plane of vision. |
