Internationally renowned, home-grown Brisbane artist Lindy Lee has been commissioned to create the signature masterpiece for the art installations to be showcased as part of the transformational $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Brisbane development.
Ms Lee will craft a unique, 8-metre, 8,000-kilogram bronze sculpture for the George Street Atrium entrance to the QWB precinct. Titled ‘Being Swallowed by the Milky Way’ the stunning oblong sculpture will feature thousands of tiny holes puncturing its bronze surface. At night it will appear as a shimmering, light-filled galaxy of silver and gold stars.
Lindy Lee’s ‘Being Swallowed by the Milky Way’ is the first artworks to be revealed by The Star Entertainment Group as part of its multi-million-dollar public art procurement program with more artists will be revealed in coming months.
