An inflatable five-meter tall sculpture, mixing a bust of the ancient Greek poet Homer with the head of animation character Homer Simpson, is among the highlights of an artist fair held in Sydney from 18 to 21 March, greekcitytimes.com reports.
This will not be the first appearance of Homer Down Under.
The artwork by the European artist collective Cool Shit was showcased in December 2020 at the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, staged on Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia.
But artists state “excited” about the sculpture’s Sydney debut at The Other Art Fair.
The amalgamation of the Odyssey and Iliad author with one of the greatest comic creations is like a meme coming to life, only it is massive and made of fabric.
HomerThe sculpture, which depicts Homer Simpson’s bulbous yellow head atop the ancient author’s fierce bearded chin, is made from “reams of lightweight fabric and, well, air”, noted Danger Dave.
“Finally, we focus on the experience… Our goal is to deliver unique and unparalleled encounters through our art,” he explained.
