Explorers
Michal Gabriel (*1960)
The blue figures of the explorers are again gently floating above the water surface, this time in Hradec Králové. Sometimes I get asked about the colour of these statues. This blue colour has the trade name pool blue, the colour of swimming pools, but also the colour of the sky. Recently I realized that it is also the color of information signs along highways. I discovered its unintense contrast in the landscape once myself, through a small sculpture. The light blue sculpture pulled the color of the sky to the ground at the time, and so I had several of my other sculptures pull the blue color of the sky to the ground. And among them are the more simple blue explorers.
