Artclub Gallery - Rayou

I’m almost at the end of this walk, as I head towards the metro I choose to walk past the Louvre hotel and peep through the ‘window’ of the
Artclub Gallery…

it always has a show stopping display of talent with the most interesting visitors.

Not so sure about the pear but the black and white tree is beautiful

[Kathy A]

That's cool!

[Joan Robillard]

Neat

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool sculpture. I am uncertain whether it represents a pear or a lady's bum.

[Tim L]

Well, you couldn't walk past that without doing a double take. My first thought was 'lady's bottom', which probably says more about mr than about the artwork. Great find, thanks for sharing.

[Susan Wakely]

A great cheeky pear.

[Zilli~]

Ha, ha, love this

[Mags]

Looks to have human form from the back. =)

[Jo]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

[Agnes]

Very special

[Bucktree]

Interesting sculpture. Certainly gets a double take.

[Margaret Brown]

Very eyecatching!

[Dorothy]

I saw the pear first but then after reading comments I can see the human side to it also. Looks like lots of interesting artwork!

[Oli Lindenskov]

Great pic😊

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful display and information

[Pat Knowles]

An extraordinary exhibit.

[Peter Dulis]

funny art

[Phil Howcroft]

hmmmm a half eaten pear !!!! I think some people may "get it" . Unfortunately I don't Beverley !!

[Cliff McFarlane]

Never seen an aggressive pear before. Nice composition

[Islandgirl]

Funny art piece!

[Kathy]

Based on a woman's figure. Very creative

[Paula Fontanini]

Absolutely LOVE that b/w tree in the background. The pear is definitely unusual!

[l.eggzy (Linda)]

Such amazing pieces of art inside.

[Yao RL]

I love it.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's interesting to me that I find a black and white photograph of a pear (whole or with a bite taken out of it) as far more artistic than this statue. I'm not sure what that means other than that I am no expert when it comes to modern art like this.

looks like you bared the fruit of your decision!
