Reutilise Ute Sculpture

After more than 10 years on display in George Street, the beloved TransmUTE has retired from public exhibition. The mosaic Ute was transformed in 2005 by a group of dedicated local artists and became an icon for locals and visitors alike.

 

TransmUTE is headed for the new Ute museum at the Deni Ute Muster site, which is expected to be complete in late 2020. To replace the TransmUTE, a new “Reutilise” sculpture was commissioned and award-winning local artist Stuart Taylor was engaged to create a life-size Holden Ute from metal objects collected from farms in the local area.

 

The new sculpture is a welcome addition to The Long Paddock’s iconic ARTback outdoor sculpture series which spans Moama to Wilcannia.

 

Where to go to see it?

The new artwork is located next to the Peppin Heritage Centre Deniliquin in Deni’s CBD. With riverfront views and plenty of parking, you can’t miss this bea-UTE-iful piece of art!
