Rubber Duck / Florentijn Hofman

Kevin — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:01:41 +0000

Created for the Estuaire 2007 art exhibition, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman’s 105-foot-tall “Rubber Duck” spreads joy as it floats freely around France’s Loire River estuary.

A yellow spot on the horizon slowly approaches the coast. People have gatherd and watch in amazement as a giant yellow Rubber Duck approaches. The spectators are greeted by the duck, which slowly nods its head. 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 relief mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!

Healing properties! Giant Ducky FTW!

More photos are available at Hofman’s official site. Be sure to check out some of his other projects, especially Signpost 5, Stuck Pig, DHL, and Musk Rat.

Artist Shayla Maddox will be exhibiting her light-reactive abstract paintings at the Townley Gallery in Laguna Beach from July 13th to the 27th.

There’s a reception at the gallery on Friday, July 13th, from 6-9 pm featuring music, wine, and hors d’oeuvres. Yes, that’s three solid hours of hors d’oeuvres. And art.

1294 South Coast Highway – Suites D & E
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
(Get Directions)

Turn east on Cress St. off of PCH. There is plenty of parking on Cress St.

Photos simply do not do Shayla’s work justice — her paintings need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Hope to see you at the reception!
