Tamiami Trail - Ominous Ikon - Sarasota, Florida, USA. - National Scenic Byways on Waymarking.com

From the Artist: Dennis Kowal a spike like abstract sculpture over 17 feet tall. Made from Aerospace grade Aluminium, Glass, & Stainless Steel. The Sculpture hiding in the shade, stands ready to be launched of its base towards the stars.

“Ominous Ikon Series #69 is the latest in this sequence begun almost 50 years ago. One doesn’t usually combine two words, ‘Ikon’ and ‘Ominous,’ as descriptions of a symbol. A symbol, a paradox, are the mix of the materials. Aside from the aesthetics of this work, it follows a social responsibility of analyzing international ballistic missiles, our Achilles heel, and the futility of war. Art is the antithesis of war.” Text source: (visit link)
