Illuminated Crowd

²Ñ´Ç²Ô³Ù°ùé²¹±ô


Constructed of polyester resin, Raymond Mason’s sculpture of 65 people is one of ²Ñ´Ç²Ô³Ù°ùé²¹±ô’s most photographed pieces of public art. The work shows a rather dark side of humanity. A crowd of onlookers stands pressed tightly together. The first row merely looks off into the distance, while behind them, the mood gradually degenerates as figures show a range of emotions – melancholy, fear, lust, hatred and terror.

A fine vantage point is on the Secret Bench, an evocative sculpture by Lea Vivot on the other side of Ave McGill College.
