What a wonderful piece of art!.I like it very much.In Rome we have a museum of contemporary art called Macro.Last year I saw an exhibition of the works By Ghada Amer.I advise you to see them.I envy the creativity of these artists.

Oh, wow! That is so cool. It always baffles me how artists are able to make sculptures like this out of random things. (I once saw a huge moose sculpture created from nails.)

….and I thought you were referring to graffiti on the Harbour Bridge

Wow that’s just awesome. Whenever I see art that uses non-tradiational materials, I always have to wonder what that first idea must have felt like as it popped into the artist’s head. “I want to make a massive sculpture but what shall I use….ahh coathangers!”

In my art gallery, Carmen, I use coat hangers to display the art, hooking them over curtain tie-backs and then hanging the unframed paintings from them like a pair of trousers!
I guess I could hang a lot of my paintings on this gorilla, he would not look so pale then…

I am always amazed by the thought processes behind works of art like this. I mean, how does one get to this point. Do you wake up and go *hmmm all those wire hangers from the dry cleaners are taking up too much room in my closet, I really should do something with them, I know, I’ll make a gorilla*
okay, maybe not QUITE like that

Werther ~ haha… That would make sense!
Miki ~ what a cute idea LOL
Agree with everyone on how on earth artists get these kind of ideas! So ingenius… and to think of the patience involved is a lesson in itself!!!

Wow! That’s mind-boggling really……where would you start? How? I’m speechless! It’s amazing.

Wow, a use for the breeding coat hangers in my cupboard. I never thought I’d find one of those. That’s awesome

wow, we face just incredible results when the routine things are showcased in freakish way.
David Mach’ s “hulky King Kong…” just put under a charm. Yet what was the goal of the sculpture? Is it not just a play with our emotions? Where does lead such art the viewer? Whom does it serve?
