Spectacular Sculpture

This is one of the best sculptures that I have ever seen. It is in the Grand Lobby of the Queen Mary 2 and shows the ship bursting out of a sunburst in mid-Atlantic. It is huge; 7m high and 6.5m wide. The colour of the sculpture changes with changing light during the day. Mum took many photos of it and it is a different colour in all of them. The artwork is made from brass sheet and it is 3D. It took the artist nearly 2 years to make. Because the bow of the ship sticks out from the background it appears to change direction as you walk around the lobby. There are loads of artworks on the QM2, around $3,000,000 worth. Some of them are great, like all the paintings of past and present Cunard ships, and some of them (IMHO) are not very good at all. I will show you more of them in due course.
