Galaxy, Steel sculpture at Leadership Square, Oklahoma City, United States
Description
Galaxy is a steel sculpture standing at Leadership Square in downtown Oklahoma City, made from welded and painted steel in bright red. The work features multiple large geometric shapes arranged together to create an abstract composition that dominates its outdoor setting.
History
The sculpture was created in 1985 by a known artist in a Connecticut studio and later transported to Oklahoma City in three separate sections. This construction method allowed the large work to be moved and reassembled at its permanent location downtown.
Culture
The sculptor chose bright red to make the geometric forms stand out against Oklahoma City's urban landscape. The bold color and angular design create a striking presence that people notice immediately when walking through the downtown area.
Practical
The sculpture sits outdoors at Leadership Square where you can view it freely and from all sides along public walkways. The work stands in a downtown location that is easy to reach on foot and offers clear sightlines from multiple angles.
