Jon Eiseman: Point Leo Sculpture Park

 

PROJECT: Point Leo Sculpture Park
ARTIST: Jon Eiseman
ARTWORK TITLE: Watching and Waiting
LOCATION: Mornington Peninsula
CLIENT: Point Leo Estate Winery
DATE: 2010

 

Cast in bronze, Jon Eiseman’s sculpture for Point Leo Estate is surrealist in mood and depict a solitary figure in a suit – the ‘common man’ in an attitude of existential contemplation. Inhabiting dreamlike settings, Eiseman’s bald-headed figure is accompanied by a large bird, and appears somewhat cast apart or expectant as they contemplate the horizon of sea and land stretching out before them. 

The Point Leo Sculpture Park is an outdoor gallery within 135 hectares of landscaped grounds that offer a gentle promenade as opposed to a strenuous trek around the network of winding paths that lead visitors past some 60 works mostly but not exclusively of large-scale.
