This rock man seems to be doubled over in pain. A closeup even shows his rock fingers.
This beautiful sculpture is huge, as you can imagine. Remembering that outdoor work has to be weatherproof, it amazes me the physical work and ingenuity of pieces like this one.
I love the Inhale Exhale polished stone bench. You can sit on them and have lunch. They are of course best viewed without picnickers, but people enjoy sitting outside on this unique usable art.
The following piece was purchased and moved from Burning Man. (Not this year's event.) The docent explained to me they wished they could have purchased the stacked semi trucks sculpture but it was just too big. The semi's were open to climbing and kids were all over the thing. Makes me want to renew my commitment to attend Burning Man some year.
An inside exhibit featured a metal artist named Bentson. He had his whole studio on display, with videos on how he works. He calls himself a "blue collar artist" since he welds and hefts and brazes metal into pieces like this one from the roof top.
I liked it with the buildings as a back drop.
This stone sculpture, besides its uniqueness and beauty, holds water in a narrow rivulet and birds fly in and out to drink from it. .
A driftwood horse? It only appears to be driftwood. It is made of bronze and imitates driftwood. Driftwood for a permanent exhibit would be vulnerable to hands and weathering.
Reno's downtown lampposts are artistically designed and beautiful. This one identifies the Arts District. Cool!
When I first looked at the indentation on this bench, it struck me as a spot for a shorter child to sit. Except, on looking closer, I see it was designed to miss the electric plug. Usable art design with an on the spot variation to fit, tickles me.
From the roof, the views of Reno are refreshing, with the hills all around. Very enjoyable. Even so, the Museum has a Picasso, a Lichtenstein and many innovative and questing pieces. But one room was devoted to Chester Arnold. The exhibit is named, On Earth As It Is In Heaven. An amazing collection of mostly room sized paintings, vivid and thought provoking. His pieces have a message about America that speaks to our proclivity for altering the natural landscape and questioning if we balance our exploitation with what is good for humanity. This exhibit is a must see.

His website has little icons that get bigger when you click on them. They don't reveal the power of his room sized pieces, however.
