New Art in on Fourth St
“Another exciting addition to the Fourth Street art collection is the “Desert Guard” by artist Lu Ming.
Lu Ming’s design draws inspiration from the formidable armor worn by Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongolian empire that dominated China in the 14th century. This design serves as a symbol of warfare and carries a cautionary message about the perils of humanity’s creation of weapons, which may ultimately lead to our own downfall. The armor is 32 feet tall and weighs 5.5 tons with the soul of a Mongolian warrior embedded in it.” 📸 @jresortsrenoneonline #reno #nevada #art #publicart
