Think BIG

Wow! Just look at this magnificent art piece by Jaume Plensa located in the City of Culture 2018. Anyone would be blown away by their beauty and one has to respect art on this scale, simply amazing. From the month of May until the end of this year, a variety of artists will be showing their work to the public in the 11 Cities of Friesland, which is the same area the famous Frisian 11 Cities ice skating tour covers.

Lasting memory

There is no doubt that this display makes a person's head turn (pun intended) and leaves a lasting impression, I think that's the idea, the wow factor! Well done Sir and thank you for your efforts and I will always know Jaume Plensa for this eye opening, jaw dropping mesmerising piece of art.

These are really good. I love when subject matter is blown up in size. There is something of the fantastical when something average size becomes monumental, maybe it touches on that childhood joy of wanting to shrink down and adventure, like in the borrowers :)

They are splendid looking pieces @donnadavisart and I agree that when they've been blown up in size, they definitely make you feel like borrower! Haha! :-D

So amaziiing! Wow...

Impressive! What material is it?
