Flowing Kiss, Steel sculpture in North Bank Park, Columbus, United States
Flowing Kiss consists of two large steel structures positioned on rounded bases on opposite sides of an intersection, each displaying rippling surfaces that taper into lip-like forms. The installation sits within North Bank Park at 311 West Long Street, where the surrounding open space allows visitors to view the pieces completely from multiple angles.
Lawrence Argent created this outdoor piece in 2013, contributing to Columbus's developing public art collection. The sculpture represents a more recent addition to the city's artistic landscape, part of ongoing efforts to enhance public spaces with contemporary works.
The steel structures face each other across an intersection, creating a visual conversation through their kissing forms. This arrangement encourages visitors to walk between the two pieces and experience the relationship from multiple viewpoints.
The sculpture sits within North Bank Park, a publicly accessible area near downtown Columbus that is easy to reach on foot or by car. The site is designed with open access, so visitors can arrive whenever they wish and explore the work from different vantage points without special arrangements.
The metal surfaces shift in appearance throughout the day as sunlight reflects off the rippling texture, producing changing visual effects. This constant transformation means the installation looks entirely different depending on when you visit.
