The well-known cartoonist and artist behind the latest installation outside Art Gallery of Guelph is hoping people will interact with his creation, known as Living Room Suite, maybe even take a seat in it.
“It’s part of a series of works that I’ve been doing over the last few years that involves images of furniture or rooms that are kind of … vague in their meaning,” said Guelph's Gregory Gallant, who goes by the pseudonym Seth. “They have sort of an underpinning of a mystic quality to them.
“They’re meant to make you think about rooms you’ve been in yourself. Maybe they’re inner rooms representing memory or even an afterlife.”
The four-piece, bronze sculpture of a box television and three chairs was installed along Gordon Street, immediately north of College Avenue, on Thursday afternoon. It's near to the Begging Bear.
A reception and grand opening will be held next month, said Seth, who is perhaps best known for his cartoon series Palookaville and and his mock-autobiographical graphic novel It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken.
