Sculpted from five granite cubes, the Castle of the Eye Sculpture stands before you, a testament to geometric artistry. Here in Lisbon’s Vasco da Gama gardens, this creation by Minoru Niizuma defies absolute regularity. The Castle of the Eye Sculpture presents a totemic order amidst the natural chaos of the park. The sculpture was placed here in 1994. Niizuma, born in Tokyo in 1930, was a renowned Japanese abstract sculptor. His work often explored the interplay between geometric forms and natural settings. The Castle of the Eye Sculpture perfectly embodies this exploration. Sadly, Niizuma passed away in 1998, but his legacy lives on through captivating works like this one. Take a moment to appreciate the interplay of light and shadow on the granite surfaces. Imagine Niizuma’s vision taking shape, transforming raw stone into a thought-provoking piece of art. The Castle of the Eye Sculpture invites you to contemplate the balance between order and chaos, a theme that resonates throughout art and life.
