As a seasoned urban explorer who has traversed countless cities, I must say that Alex Chinneck’s sculptural street lamps at Assembly Bristol have left me utterly enchanted! The blend of tradition and innovation, the surreal with the familiar, is a magical symphony that resonates deeply within my soul.
At Assembly Bristol in the United Kingdom, the latest waterfront location, artist Alex Chinneck has unveiled a collection of sculptural street lamps that combine traditional allure with unexpected elements. Made from steel, Chinneck’s works reinvent Victorian-style lampposts using whimsical shapes: two lamps bend into a dramatic bow, while another pair entwine closely together, a gesture the artist refers to as “First Kiss at Last Light.” A solitary, upright lamp post concludes the scene, offering a contrast between the surreal and a hint of familiarity.
Standing over 13 feet high and situated next to the historic Floating Harbour, these installations blend classic architecture with contemporary LED illumination, serving as a link between antiquity and modernity. Renowned for adding a touch of whimsy to urban environments, Chinneck consistently transforms ordinary items into realms of surrealism. For over a decade, he’s breathed life into bricks, stones, and buildings by imbuing them with motion and humor.
