Mr.Imagination - Arch - Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

Gregory Warmack's sculptures are famous for using discarded objects such as buttons, tools, wrist watches, household instruments, and mirrors. All of these old discarded items are pressed into the concrete sculpture. Many of his works were thematically influenced by Egyptian dress.

From Wikipedia.

"Gregory Warmack, better known as Mr. Imagination (Born March 30, 1948 in Maywood, Illinois – Died May 30, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia) was an American outsider artist. He worked in a variety of forms and his work often made use of sandstone and bottlecaps.
Mr. Imagination's works were exhibited in shows throughout the United States, in places such as the Dallas Museum of Art, the African American Museum in Dallas, the Halsey Gallery at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, the William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut, and at the Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh. He was also exhibited internationally, including in Venice and Paris. Several of his pieces are part of the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and he is also exhibited at the American Visionary Art Museum, the American Folk Art Museum, and the High Museum of Art. He was commissioned to make an eleven-foot-tall rendition of a Coca-Cola bottle for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, and decorated spaces for House of Blues venues in Orlando, Las Vegas, and Chicago. Among his other major works were a garden installation at the National Botanical Gardens, a globe piece at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and a wall display for the transit building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Absolut Vodka commissioned a rendition of their bottle in his style.

In 2009, Mr. Imagination was commissioned to decorate city planters in Salina, Kansas, but the city council halted the project mid-completion and removed the finished exteriors with jackhammers." Text Source: (visit link)
