Inflatable KAWS in Korea, by Pipes on Jul 19, 2018 15:42:55 GMT 1, Couldn't find a "Lake Art" section so this goes in "Street Art"
With arms spread out, face toward the sky, the latest work by American artist KAWS is a picture of relaxation. And from today, this 92-foot-long (28 meters) inflatable can be found reclining on the placid surface of Seoul's Seokchon Lake.
The new installation is the artist's largest work to date. It features one of his signature characters, Companion, who will spend the next month atop the 15-foot-deep waters before embarking on a world tour.
Seokchon Lake, which is located in the South Korean capital's Songpa district, previously hosted the world-famous inflatable "Rubber Duck" on a tour of its waters in 2014.
"I just wanted to do a water piece," said KAWS, real name Brian Donnelly, in a phone interview. "I was just thinking about being on vacation, and when you just drift in a pool and stare upwards, and that's really the beginning of the work.
