"Ardenflirt" is the name of this sculpture made by American artist John Chamberlain (1927-2011). Towards the end of his career he made grateful use of new techniques for bending and moulding large thick galvanised aluminium sheets.
This one is called "Nudepearls", The coloured scylptures consist of twisted and knotted coils and loops with the aluminium having been wrapped around a frame.
They look like giant bent nails to me.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenBefore I opened your post, I saw a small photo of the above and I thought "she has taken a photo of a french horn somewhere.....a giant one. Upon reading your post and looking at the large photos, yep, they look like giant bent nails to me. Where did the days go when you could actually figure out what the sculptor or artist was creating?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJohn Chamberlain is a naughty boy. ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think Mr Chamberlain had a wonderful sense of fun Marianne :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is another one of those "guess what this represents." Unusual artistry for sure.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSometimes no matter how much I look at it, I just don't "get" a sculpture. "To each his own," eh.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenArtists are so inventive with the materials that they use!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey also look like bent nails to me.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree - large nails all twisted out of shape.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInderdaad een beetje trompet-achtig. Ik vind het best heel leuk!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBent nails and twisted musical instruments! Very peculiar.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI see big nails which are twisted together in different ways. Joiner has been nervous.. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting art.
I really like them, what a clever artist :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy first thought was pretzels.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere's action but also togetherness. I like these.
