On Tuesday, 10 November, at 13:00 in VikingPark on 151 Zelena Street in Lviv, the opening of a new sculptural composition entitled “Viking Heart” is planned. The organisers invite all interested residents and visitors to the city to join the event.
The new work will be another example of contemporary art in an open urban space, accessible for viewing during an ordinary walk around the neighbourhood.
The sculptural composition consists of 12 elements made of mirrored stainless steel. Thanks to this design, the object changes its appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed, while the gleaming surface will reflect the surrounding buildings, sky and various lighting conditions throughout the day.
The author of “Viking Heart” is the artist Mykola Molchan, whose proposal was selected following a competition. According to the artist’s concept, the sculpture is intended to symbolise the strength and gratitude towards Ukrainian defenders, both men and women.
The initiative to create the composition came from the company Viking Development, on whose premises the new art object has been installed.
