This sculpture, called “Planet”, is located in the Meadows, in The Gardens by the Bay. It’s a white painted bronze, stainless steel sculpture by Marc Quinn.

The following information on the sculpture was taken from the sign board.

“Beautifully balanced on a languid arm of a sleeping boy child, this seven ton, 585cm by 353cm by 926 cm bronze cast sculpture floats like a heavenly body above a verdant earth.... This piece is the second of three editions, and is gifted for permanent display in the Gardens by the Bay by Putra and Imdelda Masagung.”

From a distance the scene looks quite eerie at night.

Love it! If a man can make something that weighs 7 tons look like it's weightless and able to fly, then maybe he really is capable of anything.
I also love when the artist has explained what he meant by his work. This is not always the case, and as much as I love puzzles, often this puzzle turns out to be tiring, full of illogicality and lack of meaning if you don't have some guidance from its creator.

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like the sculpture.

Yes, I appreciate a piece of art work more - whether it is a painting or a sculpture, when I know the artist's meaning, intention or the story behind the work.

Some people visit art galleries and they try to interpret the artworks and decide whether they are nice or not. I think that is kind of hippocritical. But some people would say that it is art, that you interpret it to your own perception.

I guess to each his own 😊
