Rees Bag Carriers These new everyday people from the Witten artist Christel Lechner were in September 2021 placed by the Traffic and Beautification Association Rees. |
From Christel Lechner's website (tranlated):
Often a distant observer is amazed, imagining real people in front of him. But as you get closer, the life-size sculptures of glass fiber reinforced concrete develop their very own effect and dynamics: They are an artistic staging of the ordinary - touching snapshots that show what is commonly overlooked: the life lived in its
purest form, unembellished and yet far from banality.
Everyday people enliven the public space where they meet people: they sit on the bench, deep in conversation or simply together, enjoy the sun and remember the beauty of the moment.
Their positioning underscores the claim to normality: the sculptures are approachable - they invite you to be surrounded, touched or simply looked at in peace.
