Description
This 21st Century life-size bronze statue sitting in front of the Sugar Land City Hall has raised a Texas sized uproar. One either loves it or hates it. But whatever emotion it brings out in us, we need to recognize that this is becoming A new Art in the digital age.
Sandy Levin has donated 10 sculptures to Sugar Land. This one, the newest one, just seems to be drawing all the attention. Most of Levin’s sculptures are in Oyster Creek Park off of Highway 6. They are fun, unexpected pieces like an alligator or kids on a skate board and roller-blades.
All of her statues were made in China. Levin is one of the first 40 Americans to be able to do trade with China, so it’s his way of merging two cultures.
Sugar Land is a city in Fort Bend County, Texas, United States, located in the southwestern part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Located approximately 19 miles (31 km) southwest of Downtown Houston, Sugar Land is a populous suburban municipality centered around the junction of Texas State Highway 6 and U.S. Route 59. Beginning in the 19th century, the present-day Sugar Land area was home to a large sugar plantation situated in the fertile floodplain of the Brazos River.
