Sculptor Alan LeQuire is best known for creating Athena Parthenos, the largest indoor sculpture in the western world, located in Nashville’s Parthenon. On July 9th, the Customs House Museum will unveil the newest colossal installation from this internationally-known Tennessee artist. The idea was completely conceived by the artist. He has employed the talents of writer Madison Smartt Bell, installation artist Annie Freeman, and Jim Sherraden to complete bringing the presentation to fruition.

With this exhibit, LeQuire has merged environmental beauty with the human form. The 12-ft high textured forms of “Dream Forest” morph gracefully into classical Italian torsos reminiscent of the works LeQuire apprenticed under in his early years. The sculptures flow into the forest floor with poetic narration. The vision completes with eight-foot woodcut prints and a suspended forest ceiling. “Dream Forest” will make its debut in the transformed Crouch Gallery of the museum.
