EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bernard Schottlander's "Series of Shapes in Red" sculpture, beautifully juxtaposed against the iconic Rootes Building at the University of Warwick. Dating back to 1968, this post-war masterpiece stands as a testament to Schottlander's artistic brilliance and his ability to create thought-provoking sculptures that transcend time. In this photograph taken by James O. Davies in 2015, we are presented with a striking composition where vibrant red shapes seemingly dance across the frame. The contrast between these bold forms and the architectural lines of the Rootes Building creates an intriguing visual dialogue that draws viewers into its depths. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its historical context. As a post-war creation, it symbolizes resilience and renewal, embodying the spirit of progress that emerged after periods of turmoil. Its presence within Coventry's Warwickshire landscape serves as a reminder of our capacity for growth and transformation even amidst challenging times. James Davies' skillful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and texture present within Schottlander's sculpture. From every angle, we can observe how light interacts with each shape, casting shadows that add depth and dimensionality to the overall composition. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates history, artistry, and human ingenuity all in one frame. It invites us to contemplate our own place within a changing world while celebrating timeless beauty through Bernard Schottlander's
