Diamond
This artwork featured in the Hereford Sculpture Trail (2024). A Meadow Arts commission.
tRenowned for his large-scale, site-specific creations, Lothar Götz often responds to existing structures. For Broad Street, he will reimagine a simple shop sign that responds to others on the street but advertises only itself. Broad Street has a rich history as the site of local festivities and significant events. The lozenges pattern that Götz proposes harks back to a folk art tradition of costumes and flags, celebrations and parades, in a bold and contemporary way.
“I’m interested in exploring spatial ideas and I like to use abstract geometric forms, fields and lines of intense colour because I believe that aspects of decoration and colour can have a real impact upon us.” – Lothar Götz
Diamond was commissioned by Meadow Arts in 2024 as part of a collaborative project between Hereford College of Arts, Meadow Arts and Herefordshire Council. It is one part of the Art + People + Place programme, commissioned in partnership with Studio Response as part of the £6 million Hereford City Centre Improvements (HCCI) project.
Location: 6-7 Broad St, Hereford HR4 9AE
