Chris Williams 'Wild at Heart' Sculpture Exhibit

Committed to the arts and to the environment, InterContinental Boston presents its fifth art exhibition since opening in 2006, ‘Wild at Heart,’ an indoor/outdoor animal sculpture exhibition by Essex, Mass.-based artist, Chris Williams. Recently opened, this exhibit features 8 large-scale bronze and steel sculptures of numerous animals from tree frogs to giraffes and octopi to owls and will be on display at InterContinental Boston through mid-December 2010.

The sculptures are scattered throughout the InterContinental Boston lobby and out on the waterfront promenade. Sculptures include a majestic eagle landing on its tree nest at the Atlantic Ave. entrance of the lobby. The lobby is home to an octopus and seascape with sea anemones and an array of coral, an owl perched in a tree and a tree frog amdist a bamboo habitat. In Sushi-Teq, the hotel’s popular sushi and tequila restaurant/bar, hangs an octopus with its hand-blown glass head illuminated and the private dining room in Miel “Brasserie Provençale” is home to a bee. The InterContinental Boston’s two acre waterfront promenade graces an austere vulture peering towards the water, which is also situated on Boston’s Harbor Walk, and a gentle 14’ giraffe adjacent to Miel’s outdoor terrace.
