Ok my peeps, today’s piece is a little different because one)
the information I am using is directly from the artist’s website and two) it’s
kind of huge.
“Rubber Duck
Hong Kong 2013
14 x 15 x 16,5
meters
Inflatable, pontoon
and generator
The Rubber Duck
knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political
connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can
relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly
and suitable for all ages!
The work has
traversed global waters since 2007 and could be seen in St. Nazaire (FR), Sao
Paulo (BR), Auckland (NZ), Hasselt (BE),Osaka and Hiroshima (JP), Sydney (AUS),
Nürnberg (DE), Amsterdam (NL) and more places.”
This piece I find fascinating not just because of how the artist
describes it but the size in itself. A regular rubber duck is pretty small
compared to us and this this is huge! I think it’s awesome that Florentijin
Hofman is trying to spread just a simple friendly and fun message through art.
What do you guys think?
Oh and it is going to be in Pittsburg next I hear.
Here is his website if you want to see more of his oversized
work:
And of course what kind of post would this be without this little gem:

Stay beautiful my peeps and as ever, peace!- DG
