Bronze Giants and Everyday Stories Meet in Times Square’s Electric Heart

A 12-foot-tall bronze figure now stands quietly among the neon chaos of Times Square, challenging the city’s parade of traditional monuments. British artist Thomas J Price’s Grounded in the Stars doesn’t echo the heroic poses of old; instead, it features a woman in braids and casual clothes, her stance subtly nodding to Michelangelo’s David but her presence rewriting who gets seen in public space. Price’s work deliberately contrasts with the plaza’s historic statues, offering a new face—literally and figuratively—to the city’s collective memory. Alongside this sculpture, Price’s stop-motion Man Series animates over 90 billboards, where the subtle expressions of six Black men invite passersby to reconsider how we notice and interpret others. In a city built on fleeting encounters, these works anchor moments of reflection amid the rush, reminding us that monumentality can be both grand and intimately human. #PublicArt #TimesSquare #ContemporarySculpture #Culture
