Submitted by reader Peter G: My recent pic of arguably the ugliest public “art” installation in Vancouver — and that’s saying something. Chinese sculptor (from China). I masked the background to b&w in search for a grotesque. False Creek seawall.

Actually, I think that’s how the Trudeau government sees taxpayers.
Art
So that’s you in the pose?????
You too!
Nah, it’s HiHo
If your name is actually ‘Art’ … they should have consulted you for the work.
I suspect you would have been a better juror for the competition than the designated Govt. officials.
It really is the perfect metaphor for public art.
With you on that.
Public art or pubic art?
Is there a female version?
If not, could they use Deputy POS PM Chrystia Freeland as the model?
I’d like it to be anatomically correct too, thanks all…
Dude. Birth rates are already really low. Nobody would ever want to have sex ever again after seeing what you’re proposing.
@Lickmuffin
We could use the same dimpling as on NFL footballs for the cellulite on her thighs. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about here…
(Clearly I’m joking, the spike proteins from her 4 gov’t jabs would foil any offence from my unadulterated #pureblood sperm, $3800 a load currently and rising).
Thankfully, most people tend not to comment on wardrobes/figures of women or men in Parliament, as most MPs dress appropriately for a business setting.
Two exceptions: our PM and the present Minister of Finance. Why on earth does she have an entire colourful wardrobe of the same tight style of dress, worn best by thin 25 year olds who have narrow hips?
Yes, she is short, but A-line skirts, knee-skimming skirts/dresses could be given a try in summer. Even Michelle Obama, who also is not a model either, figured this out for her body type. And, if high stiletto heels hurt your toes, it is not ok to take them off in Parliament. It is OK to be 54. The blazers are nice, though.
As for the PM, he obviously needs new suits without skinny pants, long enough to cover nuetral socks. The little boy haircut is a fail too. No wonder no one talks to him internationally.
Unacceptable L: “Why on earth does she have an entire colourful wardrobe of the same tight style of dress, worn best by thin 25 year olds who have narrow hips?”

Yes, always that tight dress.
She wore a dark purple version of that dress to trade negotiations with the US. On another blog the comments were quite entertaining, and the best was that she looked like an eggplant. That stuck and for the rest of the time she was in the news covering the negotiations, she was referred to as the eggplant.
Once you see her in that tight purple dress, you can’t unsee it. Eggplant.
From China, eh?
Title: Turdo Assuming the Position.
It’s not Turdo assuming the position….it’s Turdo forcing Canadians into that position for China.
Oh, he assumes that position for the chicomms, that’s for sure.
Just waiting for various appendages to appear from time to time. I would expect creativity to be the watchword.
BOHICA
Vancouver definitely wins first prize for the worst possible public art, especially the so called “modern stuff”. That one is especially gross.
They need a few truckers and 5-8 year-olds on the selection committees to identify “eyesores” as such at the concept stage. That said, I do appreciate west coast (and northern) aboriginal art.
My favorite Chinese Sculpture is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial by Lei Yixin.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
We have already abandoned any pretense of Dr. King’s dream of a color-blind world for the divisive hatred of Critical Race Theory, why not use a Communist Chinese Government Funded Artist to create his Memorial?
King Memorial? His family was so concerned about commemorating their Pop, they extracted $800,000 cash for themselves from the memorial’s organizers. Probably the first time that ever happened. Racism is now big business so we will see more and more, never less.
That’s not art, that’s some guy who broke into a paint store and dropped his contacts.
Calgary had a grotesquerie of elongated naked children statues outside the board of education building back in the day. Too shameful for words.
Yeah, that was along time ago…..myself and a couple of buddies would get drunk and discuss how we could put giant diapers on those monstrosities. I think it was called the “Family of Man”.
Oh, they’re still there. Colby Cosh used to call them “Holocaust Victims At Play”.
It denotes the start of Vancouver’s “stroll”, if you get my meaning
Forty years ago, I was told there was a whole lot of cornholing going at the grotesque Louis Riel statue behind the Manitoba Legislature. Riel was evicted in 1991. St. Boniface College now has the monument to butt sex. Those French guys got the needed inspiration and the legislature got a new statue that was not ugly. I am not sure they shouldn’t both be torn down because Riel was a racist thief, kidnapper, murderer, and traitor. He was pretty much an Elizabeth Warren Indian preaching race hate. Did I say that?

Looks like something archaeologists might find digging around a Pompeii bath house.
That’s me after a 5k run.
Only in Vancouver.
Giant statue of Lenin and Mao the talk of Richmond [Vancouver BC]

They love the communists.
There is a Lenin statue in Seattle too. Lots of commies along the West coast.
Bird shit depositories every last one of them.. Something to fight about.. A dirty thumb in your eye.. We did this because we could and we are happy that all the right people are annoyed because of it.. Rome abandoned the temples of the old Gods and built new ones.. But then again they were not trying to start a riot.. Never a good idea..
Is that near the public washrooms in English Bay? It ought to be, if you know what I mean.
We should start a movement to rename it to Sir John A.
It’ll be pulled down in a Vancouver minute. (because Vancouver runs at the speed of heroin, it might take a while).
I see some of you adding thumbs to your names. I would make this one mine.
Thanks for posting. I actually live on the sea-wall, on False Creek. Walked by the statue many a time. The most comments I get (actually from women) how small his penis is. Art or reality?
The one Ring is not here.
Most public so-called art is actually vandalism of the visual landscape. This one is just one of the more egregious examples.
That makes an ass of all of uss…
