Description: Arguably, no other piece of public art in Crested Butte carries as much iconic significance as the radiant chrome sculpture that welcomes both residents and visitors as they descend Highway 135 into the town. In this enduring artwork, a valiant knight engages in an eternal struggle against a formidable dragon—a profound allegory symbolizing the age-old conflict of good versus evil, the triumph of the small over the mighty, and the perpetual battle between light and darkness. The artist, Sean Guerrero, invites viewers to interpret it as they see fit, whether as a reflection of small-town Crested Butte grappling with corporate influences or contending with the challenges of newfound popularity in the wider world. However, the sculpture's origins hold a somewhat different narrative.
