Artist Highlight: Florentijn Hofman

Florentijn Hofman is a Roterdam based artist who creates amazing sculptures of cartoon like figures that are oversized and placed in situations that evoke thought in viewers.

His latest piece is a giant bunny made of locally made shingles, and placed iÖrebro, Sweden, and was meant to challenge peoples perceptions on public space. 





This bear named Steelman, is in Steelman Amsterdam and is 11 feet tall, and made of concrete. 


The "Rubber Duck" is in Osaka Japan. It is an inflatable fellow who was built to help relieve tension and stress by being non discriminant, and has no political connotation.
