Sculpture at Hellenic Bank

Situated in the entrance of Nicosia, The hellenic Bank offices is not a building one would want to write home about. It is built in a post modern pastiche style, mimicking the grande orders of commercial classicist architecture of the 80s. On second look though, there is a public sculpture by, I found later, the star of the Cyprus artistic avant guarde, Helene Black. The sculpture consists of 12 stainless steel overcalled flowers with a 13th giant flower situated in the centre of the square. the flower is a joy to investigate in different times of the day as it slowly opens and closes as the day go by, culminating in a flood lit closed flower at sun set. 5 stars for the sculpture, none for the building.
