A Man in a Boat - A Temple Surprise


The City of Vienna has very much to offer, and, right now there is very much to see. And, one of the most interesting of all is a statue of a man in a boat. It's by the Australian artist Ron Muek and it's not only unique, but incredible and special as well.

And, this little man in a rowing boat is special for one very good reason. Detail. From head to toe it is perfect. And, whilst admiring this work, I wondered at not only its beauty, but its feelings as well. Ron Muek's little man in a boat is not only physical perfection, but character, too. And, this shows in the little man's eyes, his feet, and the way he's holding his arms.

Vienna is full of surprises and this little man in a boat is one of best I have seen. But, be warned. This little man will keep you for longer than just one or two minutes; he needs time. There is much to admire. So, put this little man on the top of your list, and enjoy the rest of your summer.

This little man in a boat by Ron Muek can be seen until September the 6th. The exhibition opens every day at 11 and closes at 6. And, the entrance is free.
