Current welcomes visitors to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center adjacent to City Hall in the revitalized downtown Pompano. The sculpture is made out of stainless teel and bronze and measures 15 feet by 8 feet by 7 feet. It is an abstracted reference to the infinite and dynamic flow of community, solidarity and creativity that the Cultural Arts Center provides its citizens and visitors, which they in turn feed back to the city to create a reciprocal sense of connection and place. The satin finish of the stainless steel softly reflects the surrounding environment while the rich patina of the bronze evokes the area’s leaves, grasses, ocean and skies.

Michael Szabo Studio creates large-scale, site-integrated sculptures that speak to the environments they inhabit. A native of the Bay Area, Michael earned his degree in fine art at the Rhode Island School of Design and soon returned home to establish his San Francisco studio in 2004. Working predominantly in stainless steel and bronze, he also incorporates elements such as stone, glass, water, and landscape integration. The resulting aesthetic and material language prompt a conversation between the works, the physical spaces, and the humans they engage with.
