If we have learned something throughout our student lives from school to college, that laws of physics are universal and that there are only two true units of measurement, time and gravity.
We can stretch and compress them but we cannot really cheat time and gravity, until now.
Following abstract sculpture artists will make us believe that gravity is just a concept we believe in and can be easily cheated.
The purpose of art is to make the comfortable uncomfortable, and the uncomfortable comfortable. We challenge concepts that we are used to, yet find solace in the act itself, and when it comes to public art, no other work of art challenges the status quo than statues that defy logic and our understanding of how things work.
We have collected these jaw-dropping modern sculptures that will suspend not only the laws of physics but also our belief in the norm.
I hope you will have as much fun as I did, having my mind twisted and boggled by these amazing gravity defying sculptures.
