AUSTRALIA – CANBERRA – NATIONAL GALLERY – WAX CANDLE SCULPTURE – UNVEILING #Gallery

(190315) -- CANBERRA, March 15, 2019 (Xinhua) -- National Gallery Director Nick Mitzevich poses with the newly unveiled wax candle sculpture at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, Australia, March 15, 2019. The National Gallery of Australia (NGA) unveiled a wax candle sculpture on Friday morning. The sculpture, a man reading on his iPhone, was lit up and will ultimately melt into a puddle. "This sculpture shows us that art in the 21st century shape shifts, it is not static, it is alive and always changing, reflecting the world in which we live," National Gallery Director Nick Mitzevich said. The four-meter sculpture, Francesco 2017, is NGA's latest major acquisition by artist Urs Fischer. It depicted a man standing on a refrigerator, his head lowered to look at the iPhone, as a reminder of the common obsession of people nowadays with electronic devices. (Xinhua/Bai Xu)more
