Love it what a great sculpture/ventilation shaft fav

[Susan Wakely]

I’m still seeing a robot.

[Issi Bannerman]

This is wonderful!

[Kathryn M]

I love the contrast of the shapes and textures.....yes slightly 60's robot looking I agree.

[Renee Salamon]

Wow, it’s amazing - I checked my gallery as I know his name, I have one of his works which sits in front of the Design Museum. He’s certainly big and bold

[Cathy Donohoue]

What a cool ventilation shaft. You always have such a good eye.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

that's a great composition and pov

[Cathy 💫]

Love this, Great pic

[Carole Sandford]

What a strange looking thing. Like all the detail on the bottom part. My first thought was it was some sort of watch tower 🤷‍♀️

[Dave]

Nice.

[Kathy A]

How wonderful that this is not only useful but also a cool sculpture

[Nigel Rogers]

So very strange, Egyptian hieroglyphics meets modern day engineering..

[haskar]

Beautiful sculpture and lovely shot.

[LManning (Laura)]

Really works in b&w.

@rensala you'll possibly also know his iconic mosaics at Tottenham Court Road tube station which apparently we almost lost https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/restored-mosaic-goes-back-on-display-at-tottenham-court-road-tube-station-a3455516.html

[Renee Salamon]

@boxplayer gosh, thanks, I’m not sure I have and I’ve been in that station hundreds of times. Will look next time I’m there. They refer to him as a ‘pop artist’ which I never would have though seeing his sculptures

[Helge E. Storheim]

Looks great.

[Jo Worboys]

Really good pov
