Fancy Animal Carnival @ San Francisco Civic Center
Begging your indulgence in putting a pause on the very colorful Venice posts to give way to a post about colorful, fanciful sculptures from Taiwanese artist Hung Yi. I haven't heard of this artist before, but I'm glad I got to know of him through his work. It all started from a selfie on facebook. My FB friend wrote on the selfie, "A Good Day at Civic Center". I was fascinated by the background art and knowing the Civic Center area, I knew the art must be temporary installations. So I googled temporary art installations at Civic Center and I got the information that I needed. Please read this for a little background.
Let's look at the sculptures together:
No matter how thorough I thought I was, I found out when I got home that I was missing information on a few sculptures.
Like the elephants.
Or the frog.
However, at the end (farthest from city hall) of the installation, there was a group of sculptures called Animal Circus.
There you have it a free, outdoor art exhibit. Every surface of the sculpture is filled with imagery and done in vivid bold colors. Reminds me so much of a Peter Max art work. Very happy and blessed to have access to wonderful works of art for free. Made my weekend.

ReplyDeleteI didn't see any mountain lions on my Spruce Mountain hike, but they roam all around this part of Colorado, so they're probably in that area.
