Long, Broad, and Sharpsight

The artist composed three highly stylised sculptures from artificial stone using softly rounded strips and spherical elements. They represent heroes of a famous fairy tale, each in a different colour: Long is blue, Broad is white, and Sharpsight is yellow. 

The sculptures, each with its own base, are arranged in a triangle. They stand on a lawn in a fenced area of a preschool on Ušiakova Street, towards Kpt. Jána Rašu Street, and are clearly visible without entering the preschool grounds. 

The fairy tale trio is a fine example of the work of the versatile artist Miroslav Cipár. Owing to its location within the grounds of a preschool in a quiet green inner block of the Záluhy housing estate, the work remains relatively unknown to the general public.
