Two Giants Arrive At Marble Arch

Marble Arch has seen its fair share of striking art, and the latest is no exception.

London artist David Breuer-Weil's new monumental sculpture Brothers depicts the joining together of two separate but connected individuals — in this case, siblings.

The 6m high work is scaled up from an originally much smaller maquette — even the finger prints and marks of the artist have also been scaled up.

Breuer-Weil says: "I want the viewer to see the arch from underneath, to look upwards at this moment of communication because such a connection is a form of hope that we can be understood by ourselves or another person. The image is a physical embodiment of the joining of minds."
