BEEP! Must Destroy Humanity- but where is the train? 404 Train Error…read more This giant, Texas-sized robot seems to be lounging around, idly waiting for a train. Usually robots are so- unrelaxed, but this one is chillin'. It's appropriate for Deep Ellum, where everything has a relaxed, laid back vibe. There's a few of these robots around the Deep Ellum area, they're all huge, polished steel, and whimsical! The robots are along the DART line, so they're cool spots to take in the art. I always appreciate local, large scale public art! Way to go Dallas for getting these installed.

The sculpture stands about ten feet tall on a short pedestal. It is a twisted stack of straight forms, almost looking like a helix of books though it is hollow inside. Nicely lit and a pretty series of colors, I was not able to find an artist's statement or such that explains what they were trying to do here. If you're nearby or visiting Dallas College, stop and check it out. [Review 773 of 2024 - 530 in Texas - 21804 overall]

This stunning stone sculpture stands on Harwood Street in front of another of the downtown Dallas…read moresteel and glass towers. The organic shape is a welcome change. It is a large piece of art and almost beckons to climb on it. But don't! The stone plaque at the base reads, "This sculpture titled 'Bear Mountain Red - A Texas Landscape', after the quarry that it came from in Fredericksburg Texas, is a merger of the human character with organic abstraction. The piece was carved by Alice Maynadier Bateman from a 12 1/2 ton block quarried especially for the Diamond Shamrock Building. The sculpture was blocked out in the artist's Fort Worth studio and complete on this site September 18, 1982." It continues, "We are creative only when we imagine most vividly, when we hope most profoundly, when we have the courage to live on the edge of our possibilities." The Diamond Shamrock company had moved from Cleveland to here in Dallas but is no longer, having been acquired by Valero Energy, which is based in San Antonio.
