EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sculpture "Ritual" by Antanas Brazdys, located in the heart of the City of London on Coleman Street. The image, captured by Chris Redgrave in 2016, offers a unique perspective from the north east, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the post-war art installation that has become a beloved fixture in the urban landscape. The sculpture, created by the Lithuanian artist Antanas Brazdys, was unveiled in 1967 and is a striking example of modernist sculpture. The abstract piece, composed of black granite and stainless steel, stands at an impressive height of 12 meters and is a testament to the artistic innovation of the post-war era. The sculpture's organic forms and dynamic composition invite viewers to engage with it on a deeply personal level, inviting reflection and introspection. The setting of the sculpture in the bustling financial district of the City of London adds an intriguing contrast to its serene and contemplative nature. The towering glass and steel buildings that surround it serve as a reminder of the fast-paced, ever-changing world that exists beyond its borders. Yet, the sculpture remains a tranquil oasis, inviting passersby to pause for a moment and consider the beauty and complexity of the world around them. Chris Redgrave's photograph beautifully captures the interplay of light and shadow on the sculpture's surface, highlighting its intricate textures and forms. The image invites us to appreciate the sculpture not only as a work of art but also as a unique and captivating element of the City of London's rich cultural heritage.
