This is an interesting, contemporary take on traditional bronze sculpture. We often hear people say that they would like to see more "traditional artwork." I would like to see more of it, too, if artists put a contemporary spin on it, thinking about today's audience while addressing the context of the site and/or figure being represented.

Memphis should have bronze statues of its old blues musicians and others. It would be accessible public art that would help the city.
Imagine a Jerry Lee Lewis statue of him playing his piano. People from across the world would come and take pictures next to him on that piano bench.
