0 "Middle Fork" - The GIANT SCULPTURAL TREE CAST From A 140-year-old Hemlock Tree by John Grade

“Middle Fork”, is the newest sculpture by local Seattle artist John Grade, known for creating large-scale sculptures in unusual ubran areas, and is also the first exhibit at the new MadArt Space in Seattle.

Of course, a sculpture on such a huge scale also requires huge help. Countless volunteers aided in making this enormous scale mold of a 140-year-old tree a reality.

0 FEATURED ARTIST: FLORENTIJN HOFMAN


FLORENTIJN HOFMAN
Humour, sensation, maximum impact; internationally renowned Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman (Delfzijl, 1977) does not settle for less. His sculptures are large, very large, and are bound to make an impression. Take Rubber Duck (2007) for example: a gigantic 26-metre-high yellow rubber duck. It is an inflatable, based on the standard model that children from all four corners of the world are familiar with. The impressive rubber duck travels the world and pops up in many different cities: from Auckland and São Paulo to Osaka. A very positive artistic statement that immediately connects people to their childhood.
