EYE-i - if you have a vivid imagination, this is the face of a female, winking at you, as she stands on the pavement, waiting for a Bus. Located in Bishopsgate, London, UK.

"Almost graphic in design, this towering sculpture made from brightly coloured strips of steel is an abstract sketch of a face. She contrasts with her architectural setting, sharing with it perhaps only her steel structure. Glamorously female and full of fun, Eye-I gives a saucy wink to people hurrying by on Bishopsgate’s busy pavements below. Viewed against the London sky, she performs happily for passers-by and can raise a smile on the greyest day.

A major figure in British contemporary art, McLean trained as a sculptor under Sir Anthony Caro at St Martin's School of Art in London. Irreverence and wit are at the heart of his work, and McLean is happy to mock both himself and the art world with refreshing candour. Based in London, McLean has an international reputation and his work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the USA." text Source: (visit link)
