Florentijn Hofman Double Ducks Bronze Sculpture by Florentijn Hofman
Double Ducks Bronze Sculpture by Florentijn Hofman Limited Edition Vinyl Sculpture Collectible Artwork by Pop Street Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 7.87x4.49 New In Box Stamped/Printed Florentijn Hofman, a renowned Dutch artist, known for his colossal installations and sculptures that often evoke a sense of wonder and whimsy, conceived an iconic creation that has captured the hearts of many across the globe - the giant rubber duck. However, the Bronze Duck Sculpture carries an equally evocative, but less publicized charm. Born out of the same aesthetic that Hofman employs in his more prominent rubber duck, the Bronze Duck Sculpture serves as a tribute to the captivating simplicity of everyday objects. What sets this sculpture apart is its material and the juxtaposition it creates in the realm of pop art. Rendered in a more permanent and timeless medium, the Bronze Duck Sculpture reimagines a common bath-time toy as an emblem of art. Street art and graffiti are often characterized by their fleeting nature and propensity to challenge or augment the urban landscape. The permanence of bronze contrasts this, but at the same time, the familiar form of a rubber duck shrunk into a bronze sculpture establishes a bridge between the high art often associated with bronze sculptures and the more accessible world of pop and street art. The unassuming presence of the Bronze Duck Sculpture within the urban landscape acts as a conversation starter, engaging onlookers in dialogue about the boundaries between high art and popular culture. Through this, Hofman has gracefully woven the playful and the profound into an inseparable tapestry, reflecting both the joyous innocence and the reflective nostalgia associated with childhood memories, while also challenging the conventions of public art.
