UALR Sculptor’s Work on Display in China
UALR Art Professor Michael Warrick is in China this week participating in the ninth Changchun International Sculpture Symposium. During the event, Warrick will create a sculpture that will be on display in the northeast Chinese city.
“The work ‘Visionary’ is inspired by a person in meditation or prayer,” said Warrick. “It will be a six-by-nine foot form in bronze.”
Changchun is one of Little Rock’s five international “sister cities.” According to the Little Rock Sister Cities Commission website, Changchun is constructing an International Sister City Sculpture Park in the southern part of the city. “The theme of International Sister City Sculpture Park is ‘Friendship, Exchanges and Development,” the site says.
“The purpose of building the park is to promote exchanges with Sister Cities, offering an international platform for showcasing the national culture and art of its Sister Cities.”
