JORGE BLANCO

It is wonderful when a collector does something completely unexpected with one of Jorge's works. Check out the beautiful placing of "Garden Thinker." This work was commissioned through art consultant Carolina Perez of Carolina Miami Art. The collector and her architect came up with this beautiful green idea, resulting in a wonderful contrast between the industrial characteristics of Jorge's work and the plants surrounding the sculpture. We want to thank Carolina for her video

During a road trip in Virginia, I stopped by the City of Norfolk to visit one of my public artworks, Go Bongo, installed in 2014.

This work is installed in the Ghent Station area, across from a Fresh Market and on a street with many thriving businesses. The first image was taken in 2014, the one below in July 2021.
