BobZGatewaySculptureLocal artist, Bob Zasadny was recently honored at an unveiling of his newest sculpture, “Aerial Beauty” at the Evansville Airport Gateway Sculpture Unveiling Celebration on June 22nd at 1:30pm. The groundbreaking program included welcome and introductions from Julie Welch, Keep Evansville Beautiful Executive Director, greetings from the city from Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, and remarks from Mark Miller (Vectren), Donna Leader (Convention and Visitor’s Bureau), Jeff Jobe (Mead Johnson Nutrition), and from the artist, Bob Zasadny.

“The Aerial Beauty represents a community of talented and caring people that have the ability and will to soar to limitless heights.” – Bob Zasadny

“My idea was to connect the flight of birds to the flight of mankind, an age old dream and now a reality. The concepts of the bend in the river, created between the wings, the propellors of planes or ships built here 70 years ago, a Native American weapon or tool as represented by the body, the airlines flying out of here, are slightly hidden but obvious when pointed out.” – Bob Zasadny
