Hippo on the Thames

The project «Totally Thames» Dutch artist Florentin Hofman has created a huge wooden behemoth 21 meters in length. Sculpture entitled HipppoThames resembles a large ship. Large glazishchi and bright pink nostrils make "animal" really fun.










I was inspired by the enormous hippos lived in prehistoric times, and maybe even in the Thames.
Generally Hofman very famous sculptor. He created the Giant Slug sunbathing hare, rubber duck. His installations are huge and funny.

My goal - to amuse the people, that they all rest from the daily routine, surprised and admired. HipoTemz will float on the waters near the center of London until 28 September 2014, and then it will transfer to a more suitable place.
