Event Description Landsailers: Neal Bociek, opening in July at the Carlsbad Sculpture Garden, is an exhibition of ten playful, powder-coated steel sculptures of imaginary land and sea transportation machines. Originally part of a monochromatic series displayed along the San Diego coast, the pieces have been transformed for this exhibition with powder coats of bright, saturated color. Bociek’s inspiration for his sculptures comes from the beach environment of San Diego County, as he creates visual connections with ocean activities. He also seeks to suggest his underlying concerns with conservation, water pollution and the fragile elements of nature in the found objects he uses for his lighthearted, imaginative sculptures.
