“Enriching the streets of Edmonds with sculpture”<\/span><\/p>\n

David Varnau\u2019s bronze sculpture, “Persuasion,\u201d currently outside the entrance of Cole Gallery, invites the public to interact with and enjoy art up close and personal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI love bringing David’s beautiful sculptures to the community, where they can not only see them, but touch them as well,\u201d Gallery Owner Denise Cole said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Persuasion\"<\/a>

Persuasion<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the world, outdoor sculpture often is the centerpiece of public squares and piazzas,\u201d Varnau said. \u201cIt gives the space personality and creates a sense of place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy artistic mission is to generate allegories (in bronze and glass) that mirror the narrative of our lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPersuasion\u201d 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cole Gallery plans to switch out the outdoor sculptures every two to three months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sculptures are for public enjoyment, but they will also be for sale. For more information about \u201cPersuasion,\u201d visit\u00a0www.davidvarnau.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0www.colegallery.net.<\/span><\/a><\/span>
