Wandering around the Canary Wharf estate in London I realised how much public art there is to see (some appeals more than others to be honest but hey! that's art isn't it). Therefore (drum roll please) this will be the second (the review of Five Symbolic Images by Christopher Le Brun on 4th August being the first) in the official 'Kunst Critique of Pure Reason' Canary Wharf series which will be rolled out (bit of corporate speak as befits the location) over the coming weeks or months.
Giles Penny's Man with Arms Open is a bronze figure with head thrown back and arms outstretched. I'm not sure if he is laughing or merely stretching or maybe looking to skywards in exasperation but I like this sculpture, I find it amusing trying to think of all the possible causes of his posture.
