EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic sculpture "Boar" by renowned British artist Elisabeth Frink, situated in The Water Gardens of Harlow, Essex. Created in 1970, this post-war sculpture stands as a testament to Frink's innovative and thought-provoking artistic vision. The Boar sculpture, with its powerful and imposing presence, is a striking addition to the serene landscape of The Water Gardens. The image captured by Steven Baker in 2015 from a south-eastern perspective, offers a unique vantage point that highlights the intricate details of the sculpture's textured surface and the interplay of light and shadow. Elisabeth Frink's Boar is a masterpiece of modern sculpture, embodying the raw energy and primal power of the animal kingdom. The sculpture's bold and expressive form, with its muscular body and splayed hooves, evokes a sense of both fear and awe. The Water Gardens, designed by the architectural team of Cedric Price and Peter and Alison Smithson, provide the perfect setting for Frink's Boar. The gardens, with their modernist design and reflective pools, offer a thought-provoking contrast to the raw and primal energy of the sculpture. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the harmony between art and nature, showcasing the timeless beauty of Elisabeth Frink's Boar and the tranquil surroundings of The Water Gardens. The image invites the viewer to reflect on the power and complexity of both the natural world and the human imagination.
