25 Of The Most Creative Sculptures And Statues From Around The World
EARTH PORM
Every city that you visit has its own unique sculptures and statues, but some really make you look twice—and then some. The most unique and amazing sculptures known to capture the eyes of all who pass can be found tucked along secret streets and broadcasted in popular city squares.
There are many sculptures and statues (both new and old) currently provoking conversation and intrigue. Join the fun looking through these photos of the top 25 most incredible statues and sculptures found throughout the world.
1. Expansion, New York, USA
As light creeps out of the cracks of this statue’s body, a world of messages are portrayed by artist Paige Bradley. All of the pieces are cast in bronze and made to float separately from one another.
2. Salmon Sculpture, Portland, Oregon, USA
Look for the Salmon on Salmon Street! This funky fish statue is ranked #32 out of 676 Portland attractions—making this fish with terrible aim one popular gilled dude!
3.The Shoes On The Danube Bank, Budapest, Hungary
This memorial in Budapest created by Can Togay & Gyula Pauer memorializes the Jews killed by the fascist Arrow Cross during World War II. The shoes symbolize the victims who were forced to take off their shoes before being shot at the water’s edge.
4. The Monument Of An Anonymous Passerby, Wroclaw, Poland
This statue signifies all of the souls lost, imprisoned, or otherwise harmed by the oppressive Communist regime that existed in Poland for many years.
5. Break Through From Your Mold, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
When Zenos Frudakis created this statue he strived to depict an image that all of mankind could relate to. After all, we are all struggling to break free from the molds that bind us.
6. Black Ghost, Klaipeda, Lithuania
Don’t be alarmed by the menacing statue emerging from the water. Instead see this ghostly creation as a symbolic treasure representing Klaipeda, the oldest city in Lithuania.
7. Rundle Mall Pigs, Adelaide, Australia
Who let the pigs out? If you visit Rundle Mall in Australia you might be asking the same exact question when you see the sculptures of 4 bronze pigs running amok.
8. People Of The River, Singapore
Known as one of the most creative statues in the world, this sculpture literally looks as if children are jumping into the river. Chong Fah Cheong says of his work, “My involvement in creative work pursuits, in particular, sculpture, is a state of mind. It is a consciousness, an acute awareness of my existence, made up of limitless variables and possibilities.”
9. Cattle Drive, Dallas, Texas, USA
Located in Downtown Dallas this bronze cattle statue tells stories about the pioneer days. Featuring a gang of cattle being rounded up by longhorn steers and 3 horse-riding cowboys.
