Quite a few of those are very interesting. Though I admit some of them are just playing ugly.* Knowing the history behind the super ugly dude on the really ugly horse just makes it even more ugly.
I actually had an interesting discussion with my 6-year-old about how art doesn’t need to be beautiful in order to be art. There is some art that is made intentionally ugly or intentionally uncomfortable. In the case of the piece of art we were looking at, it was supposed to be cute or at least cool. But the general impression was mostly creepy
This was a voice to text typo. I meant to say plain ugly but I like playing ugly more
Not quite.
It was made of resin (polyurethane?) overlaid with gold and silver leaf.
The Battle of Nashville Trust removed it and supposedly has it in storage, “future uncertain.”
Bad Bad Boy was first on display in Örebro, Sweden then he was pissing into the Cholera-Basin, Helsinki and now he’s at Jätkäsaari [Dude Island], Helsinki.
What I’m wondering is why Finland has that giant statue of Andrew Tate pissing himself in fear of prison that @anon48584343 posted earlier. They built that fast!
