Kansas City–based artist Arlie Regier worked with stainless steel scrap metal to create abstract artworks that evoke both cityscapes and agricultural scenes. Existing somewhere between a sculpture and a painting, Prairie Steelscape suggests a windy Midwestern day. The raised steel shapes are reminiscent of rows of corn in a field and perhaps a windmill or other farm structure to the left. How does this work challenge ideas of landscape art?
