Original artwork description:

From the German Bauhaus movement - which favours simple geometric shapes like rectangles and spheres, without elaborate decorations - came Constructivism . Constructivism is basically industrial Bauhaus - the depiction of mundane objects in their simplest form. This enormous pylon is in the artist's local park (some more traditional scenes of which can be seen in his 'Flowers and Landscapes' section). The artist walks past this pylon every day. To many it is ostensibly an ugly thing. Electricity pylons don't feature highly in the 'Sights to See' section of many guide books. But some people - and this artist is one of them - look at this object and see appealing abstract patterns. All those straight lines forming triangles and other irregular shapes - not Marilyn Munroe for sure, but still with a certain appealing aesthetic. This is part of the artist's ongoing campaign to 'Make Ugly Beautiful'
