Man in Black and Legacy Park originated as a concept for a site-specific work for the Johnny Cash Art Trail Experience. The Man in Black Monument will be situated at the corner of East Natoma Street and Folsom Lake Crossing. Gary Tillery of Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany, imagined Man in Black as a large steel piece that would rise from the site as a landmark, facing west across the hills toward Folsom Prison, made to capture the heat, energy, and life of Johnny Cash’s charisma. Fellow artist Omri Amrany then proposed a distinctive setting for the sculpture – a park where Folsom residents and visitors could come and relax. At 40’ tall, atop a 10’ granite base, the Man in Black landmark will be viewable from two approaching arterial streets and the new pedestrian bridge. The work will rise from the sound hole of the guitar shape that defines the main plaza of the three-acre park, collaboratively designed by RRM Design Group and Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany. Monumental interior lighting designed by studio artist Itamar Amrany will also provide detail to highlight the sculpture in the evening and nighttime, while a poetic tribute to Mr. Cash by the artist will be placed at its base.
