A new work of art decorating the Marymont metro station is causing controversy among the residents of Warsaw. Titled Boze Baranki ("Lambs of God"), the work by Julia Curylo depicts a collection of inflated toy lambs floating in the skyline of Warsaw. According to the artist, the lambs are meant to represent love. According to others, there may be a different meaning behind the work of art.
The Twoja Sprawa association of concerned Warsaw citizens has called the work of art "sinful". They claim that the lambs depicted are in fact toys sold in sex shops "for those people who are affected by the disease of bestiality, and who through the lack of courage or the lack of sheep in the area have resorted to such purchases" (translated from a quote at TVN Warszawa).
The jury which chose the work for its placement in the metro has claimed that they were unaware of the connection, but that their decision will not be reversed. The artist Curylo is said to have been surprised by the claim made by Twoja Sprawa, and continues to assert that her goal was for the lambs to represent love.
