The Bronze Sculptures of Alejandro Colunga

The plazas of the "Centro Historico" in Guadalajara, Mexico have many interesting outdoor works of art. Among the most popular are the bronze sculptures of Alejandro Colunga, a famous and popular artist born in Guadalajara. Each depicts a magician transforming himself into a sofa or chair, and everyone is welcome to sit on these fantastic creations. Because the proportions of each piece are so unusual, a person may feel tall or short, fat or thin when sitting on them. No matter what their level of artistic sophistication, everyone seems to love the sculptures as they point, laugh, touch, and finally sit on these unusual works of art.
