The unusual statue is exhibited in the Šilingrák Gallery, where open-air exhibitions are held without the price to buy a ticket. “With its interactive public approach to the exhibited objects, the gallery has already gained a lot of supporters, so I am very pleased to be able to present my object here as well,“Said the author of the sculpture Pavel Tasovský.

Statue of circles

The work of art is made of wood and steel and weighs 600 kilograms. The statue is called “Between the Circles” because it is made up of spheres and circles and is supposed to represent birth. “It is a metaphor for the birth of something new, fragile and miraculous, but subject to the law of nature. Birth is a miracle in the form “Tasovský added.

The half-ton ball is not the last work of art that the people of Brno “touch” right in the city center. The statue also stands on Kobližná Street and other non-traditional works will be placed in the outdoor area. “Art belongs to the public space, whether it is sculptures in our Šilingrák Gallery or, for example, the installation Asteroid in Kobližná,“I think the mayor of Brno-center Vojtěch Mencl.
