German street artist Boris Hoppek does some pretty cool art pieces and installations; he paints with a whimsical, fun style. He also does some really, really weird installations. If you go looking, you’ll find pictures of waves of smiling faces hugging and laughing, or a checkerboard tiled walkway with a piece of poop on every alternating square…lots and lots of poop. He also seems to have a love for a character of his that is loosely based on “black face,” so I think you can understand that when I say that the installation after the jump is NSFW, it’s honestly really not safe for work. His minimal comic art style is often either inspiring or sexual in nature (he’s a master of disparity), but that’s nothing all that new and surprising in the world of street art installations. Hoppek took the shape of the structure he was working on, matched it with the form and grace of female anatomy and a very large photo realistic print, with some surprising results for the passerby. (We promise there’s no poop after the jump.)
Boris Hoppek – NSFW Street Art or Public Porn?
I can’t really imagine walking under an arch and seeing this.
If you’re looking to see more of the widely varying nature of Boris’ work, you can check out his flickr stream here. And just for fun, we’ve included his .gif of his ‘Obama Ball’ project. Offensive? Probably. Hilarious and awesome for the kids around? Definitely.
exquisite piece!….congrats to the artist! 🙂
