Pink flamingo's.. nah! Six pink kangaroos.. absolutely :) I went into the city on Friday to find these flamboyant marsupials which were created by Melbourne Aboriginal artist Reko Rennie for the FORMPublic project earlier this year. The vibrant hot pink Andy Warhol inspired kangaroos are not just a great image said the artist, but 'one that everyone can relate to internationally as well as a powerful connection to our communities'. They weren't that easy to find tucked away on the windows of Westfarmers House below, but once found..wow!
In the far background to the right below you can see the Bell Tower and in the foreground the Elizabeth Quay

I LOvE these, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThese shocking pink kangaroos are pretty special, Grace! And, it is not just their backs the kangaroos are turning toward your least favorite development.
ReplyDeletePink kangaroos--I love it!
ReplyDeleteThey are brilliant. Office buildings often have some really good public art within them, as no doubt you know.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfectly natural in that setting. :-)
ReplyDeleteKangaroos are interesting, but I would prefer to see them in the gallery than in the office.
ReplyDeleteGrace, you showed everything very well.
Such beautiful kangas Grace - love the colour! I'm glad you found and shared them with us, thank you! xoJoy
ReplyDeletePink kangaroos have just made my day! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of Andy Warhol.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Nice find, as always.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic! Your wonderful city is just chock full of art.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos also, they really show the vibrant colors.
What's that expression?... Oh yeah. "A day without pink kangaroos is like a day without sunshine"
ReplyDeleteYou are back with a bang, Grace, nice to see :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat (and meaningful) art, too! Love it!
Wow, Grace, pink kangaroos, are they all feminine? :)
