Rush of Green, Bronze sculpture in City of Westminster, England
Description
Rush of Green is a bronze sculpture in the City of Westminster portraying a family with father, mother, son, and dog moving dynamically toward a green park. The figures are accompanied by a pipe-playing figure that adds a mythological dimension to the composition.
History
The work was completed by Jacob Epstein in 1959 and installed in 1961 on a plinth at the park entrance. Its placement on a traffic island marked a distinctive approach to incorporating art within public spaces.
Culture
The work shows how people are drawn to the greenery of nature and reflects the relationship between city life and open spaces. The mythological figure of Pan represents the pull of the natural world within an urban setting.
Practical
The sculpture is located near One Hyde Park at the Edinburgh Gate entrance next to South Carriage Road. The site is easily walkable and positioned at a busy intersection, so visiting at quieter times helps you appreciate the details more clearly.
Did you know?
Alongside the main sculpture stand bronze gates designed by artist Wendy Ramshaw that extend for a considerable length. Together these artworks form a unified artistic composition at the park entrance.
