“Enriching the Streets of Edmonds with Sculpture”

“I love bringing David’s beautiful sculptures to the community, where they can not only see them, but touch them as well,” Gallery Owner Denise Cole said.

Persuasion

It’s rare in the art world to be asked to touch an art piece, but both Varnau and Cole said that bronze is meant to be touched and seen from all angles.

“Throughout the world, outdoor sculpture often is the centerpiece of public squares and piazzas,” Varnau said. “It gives the space personality and creates a sense of place.

“My artistic mission is to generate allegories (in bronze and glass) that mirror the narrative of our lives.”

“Persuasion” depicts a man and a woman in a sort of dance, pulling each other in different directions or towards one another, depending on how you interpret the piece.

Cole Gallery plans to switch out the outdoor sculptures every two to three months.

The sculptures are for public enjoyment, but they will also be for sale. For more information about “Persuasion,” visit www.davidvarnau.com or www.colegallery.net.
Sculptor David Varnau invites the public to view and touch his bronze sculpture, “Persuasion,” located outside of Cole Gallery, 107 5th Ave. S.,  Edmonds, WA
