I liked the variety of art in that area. The first one is very likely done by an indigenous artist. I haven't read Indian totem, but it sounds like the author would've likely been familiar with that type of art.
Altogether, it's a conglomerate from different cultures resp. their influences, poured out by the artists.
You're right the variety is great. Public art can be tricky, especially when you bring religion and politics into the mix. I don't think anyone would be offended by God handing a beer to man, but it is a tiny bit controversial.
I would like to see actually a painting of mine on such a huge display.
That sounds like a wonderful idea. Maybe you can start small. All you need is some spray-paint and a ski mask to do some graffiti art. 😄
Agreed. It though really depends on the mood of the one who happens to meet the art. If I feel all lonely or nasty inside, I may be appalled by some art crossing my way. It might then mock me. At another time, it might smile at me. So, that's the thing with open and huge displays. They don't ask if you are ready for them, they are right in your face.
My idea about my own art: just a spark of a wish. I am not a sprayer :)
