‘Le Nomade’ by artist Jaume Plensa
Sculptor Jaume Plensa has created numerous large sculptures around the globe. ‘Le Nomade’ depicts a human figure, made of painted stainless steel, cut into letters from the English alphabet. It’s large enough for visitors to Antibes, France, to walk inside of—which aligns with Plensa’s philosophy of creating art that appeals to more than just our visual sense. The artist was once quoted as saying, “Ideas can be touched too.”
