Olaf Breuning

Yes? No?
Castle Square

Olaf Breuning’s monumental sculptures in Castle Square are covered in his irreverent, humourous doodles and ask two simple questions: Yes? or No? The sculptures act as a meeting place; an offbeat starting point for further debate and a gateway to the High Street.
