"The vibrant, immersive structure transforms the urban landscape into a playground of color and geometry, inviting visitors to step inside a three-dimensional rainbow maze. The artwork is composed of intertwined tubular forms that rise and curve into an abstract pyramid-like silhouette. Its surface is covered in a gradient of rainbow hues, producing a dazzling visual effect that shifts with light and perspective."
"From afar, Pyramid Curbs appears as a monumental bundle of neon-colored roots, while up close it becomes a walkable labyrinth where visitors can explore and lose themselves between the inflated walls. True to French artist-architect Cyril Lancelin's practice, the work blurs the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and playground. Repetition and variation of geometric modules create a structure that is at once monumental and approachable."
Pyramid Curbs is a large-scale inflatable installation presented at the Return to the River festival in Grand Rapids that reimagines downtown connections to the waterfront through art and public gathering. The structure consists of intertwined tubular forms rising and curving into an abstract pyramid-like silhouette, its surface covered in a rainbow gradient that shifts with light and perspective. From a distance it reads as a monumental bundle of neon-colored roots; up close it operates as a walkable labyrinth with inflated walls for visitors to explore. Repetition and variation of geometric modules establish rhythm, scale, and an approachable play quality that encourages collective engagement and joy.
