Pigro

Sculpture made up of white metal in a frame-like structure, with coloured detail

Location: Sculpture Garden, King & Church
Date photo taken: 29 October 2018

The current installation in the Sculpture Garden is an airy creation of sculpted metal and colourful lights, drawing inspiration from both wrought iron street fixtures like fences and lamp posts, and the colourful lights strung for festivals. According to the artist statement, it is a "playful reclining figure... [which] acknowledges the park as a place for rest and relaxation." I love that it brings a bit of light and colour to the darkness of winter in Toronto. It is by Toronto-based artist Tony Romano.
