☞ INTRODUCING: Poseidon Rises at St. Nicholas







The Friends of St. Nicholas Park blog dropped us a line last night and informed that more new sculptures were up at St. Nicholas Park.  Apparently the two new artist couple that just moved in around the corner (might) have been up to some beautiful mischief again as one can see from the above photos.  Walking by the park this morning, the classical theme of Poseidon chasing a nymph in the form of a mermaid could be seen on the hillside close to 141st Street.  The detail on this one is absolutely amazing!  A local gallery should get a show started for those responsible for this random act of art since there's some great stuff going on here (click photos to enlarge).  Check out more night photos on the Friends of St. Nicholas Park site: LINK.  For more on the presumed artists, read our previous post: LINK

    Artists found Poseidon's nose lopped off this evening, but an emergency nose-job was performed, and all is well with the god of the sea and his nymph!
