There is a special park in Oslo. It is Vigeland Park, which is part of Frogner Park. Amidst the greenery, more than 200 sculptures, made of stone, bronze and wrought iron depicting a total of almost 600 figures, have been collected along a wide avenue.
All these naked bodies of women, men and children are the work of a single artist – the Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. The figures are in motion, expressing many emotions – joy, anger, struggle, love, tenderness, desire, dominance and submission.
The main attraction – the ‘Monolith’ is in the depths of the park – which is a large pile made up of 121 naked figures, male and female, who trample over each other, push each other, express aggression.
The park complex also includes lighting designed by the artist to create a labyrinth around the fountain. He also designed the wrought iron gates and gateways to the park.
Communing with all these works, gathered in the open air among the greenery, is impressive and a unique experience.
