About the Free Fly (Sculpture)
Welcome to "Free Fly," an extraordinary sculpture located at 113 South 7th Street, Terre Haute, Indiana. This captivating piece, part of the Swope Art Museum's Permanent Collection, is a testament to the visionary creativity of artist Bob Evans. Crafted from cast and welded aluminum, "Free Fly" embodies abstracted anthropomorphic forms that evoke the timeless human aspiration of flight.
Originally inspired by discarded aluminum propeller blades, Evans transformed these objects into a masterpiece symbolizing the boundless dream of flying unaided. Through an intuitive design process, he fused natural and geometric elements with the human figure, creating a fluid and asymmetrical composition that exudes gesture and movement. The sculpture's unique form arises from the propeller legs and gesturing appendages, merging human and mechanical elements in a harmonious dance.
Situated in the vibrant Terre Haute Arts Corridor, "Free Fly" stands as a beacon of artistic innovation, reflecting Evans' 35-year legacy as a sculpture and drawing professor at Indiana State University. Bob Evans, a Wyoming native and Professor Emeritus, continues to live and work in Terre Haute, contributing to the local art scene.
Discover "Free Fly" and immerse yourself in its symbolic narrative, a celebration of human desire, creativity, and the dream of flight.
