The Coventry Observer has reported that a vibrant new sculpture, titled ‘ColourConnection,’ has been unveiled at the University of Warwick, marking the beginning of the University’s Springtime Sculpture Trail.
Crafted by renowned artist Tine Bech, ‘ColourConnection’ is composed of transparent coloured glass panels and two-way mirrors.
The artwork is designed to foster communal spaces where individuals can come together, explore, and find solace in shared experiences, promoting a sense of well-being and community through interactive play with colour.
Tine Bech said in a time where outdoor spaces have become vital meeting points for community interaction due to the pandemic,
“’ColourConnection’ stands as a testament to this real need for human connection. I’m thrilled to see it installed at the University of Warwick.”
The sculpture is situated outside University House and joins over 25 other artworks that constitute the University’s sculpture park.
The Sculpture Trail forms part of the permanent collection at Warwick Arts Centre, which serves as the focal point of the University of Warwick’s £100 million investment in the arts.
This investment includes the award-winning Faculty of Arts building and the new Warwick Venice Centre.
Sarah Shalgosky, principal curator at the University of Warwick said: “We believe ‘ColourConnection’ will positively impact students by providing a visually stimulating environment that encourages interaction and creativity.”
