GRAND RAPIDS, MI.- Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park announces its most recent acquisition, “Neuron” by American artist Roxy Paine. The colossal stainless steel structure stands at 41 feet in the Cultural Commons, an expansive meadow enclosed by trees. Installation occurred in mid-April and the site is now officially open to the public. “It is an honor to be a part of this amazing collection and beautiful sculpture park,” said the artist. “Neuron,” part of Paine’s “Dendroid” series, is an abstract, re-imagined tree hand-constructed of approximately 3,500 stainless steel rods and cylindrical industrial piping commonly used in pharmaceutical and nuclear power plants. Paine’s juxtaposition of nature and industry is central to his acclaim as one of the most important sculptors of his generation.
