THE ART OF
UNCOMPROMISING ART.
Like the nature that inspires him, Robert Lobe believes the definition of art can’t be restrained.
It can’t be confined to a canvas or seen only in a museum. To Lobe, the thought of art, the idea
of art, is bigger than a gallery or an exhibition. Art happens every day and it happens all around us.
So he set out to put art where the people are.
A New York City-based artist and sculptor, Lobe uses items like rocks and tree limbs to shape
sculptures that highlight the random beauty of life itself. Although his work has been displayed
around the world, for his latest series, “Nature in Nature,” he wanted to bring it a little closer to
home, namely Brooklyn’s own Prospect Park. But how do you move half-ton sculptures from the
studio to the park? You start by never saying never. With GMC’s help, Robert had the power to haul
his three sculptures to the site, the capability to navigate works of art through the hustle of the city
and the bold thinking to see the project through to completion.
BUT WHAT CAN THE IDEA OF PUBLIC ART SAY
ABOUT THE THINKING BEHIND THE GMC TERRAIN?
That good ideas shouldn’t be contained by convention. That compromise doesn’t have a place
in art or engineering. That true inspiration can make a powerful impact. And with professional
grade, even everyday life can be a work of art. GMC TERRAIN.
