RE: Art Comment Contest #learnwithsteem
Of all the artworks, perhaps the one that interests me the most is sculpture. In several cities in several provinces on the island of Java that I have visited, I have always liked the statues that adorn the corners of the city. Maybe it's because the statues are available in open spaces so they are easy to find. Right, birthday boy @saintkelvin17?
One that I admire is the statue in the following image.
I took this picture with my smartphone camera in 2021, in the Kali Besar area, near Kota Tua, Jakarta. I don't know who exactly made the statue, but a Google search suggests that it was probably made by an artist named Dolorosa Sinaga. Apart from this statue, there are several other statues by the artist around the area. Whether the statue is still there today, I don't know.
The statue's friendly gestures drew me in, and I ended up chatting to him. We got acquainted and discussed the book he was reading, which was about the last days of Socrates, it just so happened that we shared an interest in the philosopher, unlike @ronnie10.
Then I headed to the toilet, and when I got back there, he was flirting with my girlfriend.
Sorry if this comment is out of topic.
I don't know if this was out of context or not. That is something that @ wakeupkitty would have to give an answer to.
I agree. The statue is really looking friendly. It looks normal when it was on its on. But, the pictures that shows people with the statue, gives me the same feeling about it.

It fits to the contest, art is art and you are free to share the art and words you like. The only statues I saw like these were in Germany, perhaps a place in France (former German). I never saw it anywhere else.
@naina9 do you have an interest in a philosopher? This one doesn't bite, and unlike what @aneukpineung78 believes, he doesn't flirt. How come I believe the statue moved to the middle in the last picture? @tezzamax @almaguer do you have statues flirting? would you avoid sitting on such a bank?
I have no problem with statues. Here in Cuba there are many. In the capital there is a very famous one of John Lennon (musician). Sculpture is an ancient art. Expressive. To turn stone into something vibrant and meaningful, or any material, to give it life is great. Not everyone would have the ability and skill to do this kind of art. Any kind of art in general.

I only have problem with ones who flirt with my girl. Why don't you compete in this contest, you can show the John Lennon sculpture and write a little about it.
He only can if he can travel to the capital city 🤔
There's no gasoline for sale.
Are you sure the statue is the one who flirts?
