Sculpture
By Sea At Sydney's Bondi Beach; Everyone's A Winner
- 20th November 2011
It
wasn't Sculpture By The Sea that motivated Paul Selwood
to become a sculpture artist, but rather the architecture
of the Sydney Opera House.
On
Thursday Selwood snatched the top prize at Bondi's
15th Sculpture By The Sea exhibition.
Selwood
won with his abstract steel construction 'Paradiegma
Metaphysic'.
"Paradiegma
is an ancient Greek word used by architects who were
trying to think about and invent beautiful architectural
concepts, like temples," he said.
"The
word metaphysic means extra-physical, something more
than what is there in the physical material."
Today
his artwork was viewed by Denmark's Crown Princess
Mary and her husband Crown Prince Frederik, who are
visited the exhibition on its final day.
The
Danish royal couple have been admirers of the exhibition
since 2000, when they came across on the sculptures
during a visit to Bondi Beach during one of their
first outings in the dealing dating period.
Sculpture
By The Sea founding director David Handley told news
media that Mary and Frederik were so taken by the
event, they took it to Denmark.
"There
has now been two Sculpture By The Sea exhibitions
held in Aarhus, and 40 Australian sculptors have exhibited
there as a result," he said.
Selwood's
winning sculpture sits with the works by 61 NSW sculptors,
24 from interstate and 25 international artists...spanning
the foreshore from Bondi Beach to Tamarama.
Paul
Selwood's sculpture will join two previous winners
as a permanent installation in Sydney's Royal Botanic
Gardens once the exhibition is over.
Well
done to all artists and those who help keep the famous
event going.
