Sculptures on Denmark Hill Village Green (Lounged)

[bilvis]

Great comments!! Really enjoying reading them all.

[piglet]

Yes they look nice.

Didn't Denmark Hill used to be the hunting ground for the King of Denmark when he was in England? Hence, Dog Kennel Hill which was where all the hunting dogs were kept. I assumed that this is what the sculptures were all about.

[sweetgirl]

i agree, totally cool sculptures...

[PeckhamRose]

Fab sculptures! Made me grin.

Hoorah! Wish there was more public art around.

Thanks Southwark for commissioning this; don't think we've forgotten the damage to the Blake mural tho!

Hi, I agree, brilliant sculptures can we have some in Peckham Rye Park and Piermont Green.

Saw it this morning very cool. Can we have a Wolf in ED please? Maybe have it pushing a pushchair or something equally ED.

[PeckhamRose]

Wearing a lambswool sweater maybe (ie in sheep's clothing. Sorry, only on 2nd coffee of the day)

Very lovely sculptures..

The Ram is a handsome chap..

I first thought it had something to do with the Fox on the hill.

They are quite pretty but a bit of a distraction whilst negotiating a corner with a side road feeding in. Wait for them to be removed for health and safety :)

Looked this morning - can still see the wolf - but were is the ram? Do I need to go and get new glasses..............

[Freddy1929]

Passed on the bus this evening - seen the sheep/ram at last!!

can save the cost of a new pair of glasses!!

[Rowanofski]

I think they're great too - I hope Health & Safety don't get ideas from Nutty's comments! I thought the post-modernist, renaissance approach was an awfully astute and profound socioeconomic, political, petit-bourgouise statement that juxtaposes the modern evils of technology with the antiquated.... Oh hang, on. Sorry, they're just kinda pretty! ;-)

I did think it little more than coincidence though that they had the evil, cunning and dangerous stalking wolf on the Camberwell side and the precious, delicate and defencless lambs on the East Dulwich side!

The Ram is getting a bit rusty already..

This seemed like a nice discussion that people were enjoying so I left it alone.

Lounged as it is not East Dulwich specific

Why does everything have to be turned into postcode nonsense? Sheesh.

I was braced not to like the sculptures as I don't think the pictures linked to the thread did them justice but I saw them this week for the first time, and I love them. The metal is used in so many creative ways - viz. the overlapping scales that make up the faces vs the looping tubes that represent the curly coats of the sheep, and the whole composition is wonderfully tense.

Stop being poisonous, Alan Dale. Exactly what are you trying to achieve?

[pepsi]

They're already rusting! I'm sure this is intentional but I liked the way the metal reflected the sunlight. Maybe I should get down there with some Duraglit?!

I couldn't care less about postcodes. Nor can I answer such an age-old question. Well, by age-old, I mean since SE22 emerged from divesville about 5 years ago. Coincidentally, probably shortly after I arrived! ;-)

Sheesh, why does everyone have to get so sensitive?!
