Skulptur i Pilane
Tjörn

Anna and the West Sea

The exhibition area is more of a living landscape than a traditional park, and you can either walk where the fancy takes you or follow the beaten paths over meadows and hillsides. From the hills you have a fantastic view of the West Sea and the Bohuslän archipelago. One of the largest and most beautiful sculptures is found here, “Anna” by Jaume Plensa, which has become a landmark for the whole of the West Coast and is now permanently located in Pilane.

This year, Pilane is honored by the presence of the distinguished British sculptor and artist Laura Ford, showcasing her compelling works 'My Little Marini' and 'ARMOURED BOYS'. Ford is known for her imaginative and often provocative works that capture a child's perspective. Her pieces are both visually appealing and deeply meaningful, challenging the viewer's perception of reality with a particular focus on the child's perspective and the often unjust nature of the world.

In addition to Laura Ford, works by Andrew Sabin, Moa Israelsson, Lenny Clarhäll, Charlotte Gyllenhammar, Maria Miesenberger, Tony Cragg, Ann Wolff, Pål Svensson, Mats Lodén, Ida Koitila, Anna Fasshauer, Joel Danielsson, and Sofia Olofsson are also displayed in this picturesque art gallery
