The metal sculpture on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda was sawn off at the ankles about 3.30am Thursday, with vandals also spray-painting “the colony will fall” on the statue’s granite plinth.

    So, the artist ‘mic’ wanted someone to religiously challenge his work.

    I don’t mind that as art goes. Bit sensationalist. But i hope the artist didn’t get paid a heap of money to beautify a grey cement wall only for the place to end up with a grey cement wall.

      You hope the artist didn’t get paid because someone vandalised their work?

      That is such a strange take.

          If thats the case, then the wants of artists clashes with the wants of the payers to beautify the wall
