Bad bad boy

Bad bad boy
TSC: 1 or 3 or 5 of something ...

In Helsinki has arrived a large sculpture of a peeing boy "Bad bad boy" in the center near the sea, made by Tommi Toija. People do have very different opinions about it.

Marco F. Delminho, Petar Bojić, , .t.a.o.n. and 15 other people have particularly liked this photo

Very long time since we were there so this must be new?
One bad boy indeed! Great shot.

This is only for about 5 days on the spot and will be removed in about two monthes

nicely taken image and great sky, but I don't think the sculpture is really sympathetic with its location though . . .

Thank you
On the left side outside the picture are old buildings and the right side also outside the picture is an orthodoxian cathedral, so a great contrast with those surroundings

Ha, having first seen the cropped shot in NTSC and now this full length image I stand by my earlier comment ... there's something disturbing about this little guy ... great shot though! :)

He is doing for many years already this type of guys, but only in a small size. They are reflections of himself and people around as far I understood. This was the first big one, 8 and halve meter

I'm glad that it is not in my city. Is there a fountain attached?

When I photographed it, the fountain was still not working, but is like a big version of Manneken Pis at the moment

Well, that not a place one should go swimming that's for sure. Not sure about what some folks call art but art is art and it is in the eye of the beholder ... rather odd though I must say. You did a good job of presenting this Wierd.

Art it is for sure, I do see a lot of humour in this sculpture, nicely contradicting with the surroundings. He makes those small guys for many years already and are reflections of himself and people around. This is the first large one

humm, very bizarre indeed... It's cute in a picture but I don't know how I would feel about seeing this larger then life boy peeing in real life...

Oh for me it is very funny
And for people who don't like it, it is there only for two monthes

It was humorous to me too Wierd, but then there is also a kind of sadness and fear in that face. I can see why it might be disturbing to some. It's kind of sad for the artist that it will be taken down. Very nicely photographed by you and I do like the selective coloring too.

Great selective colour. Must be strange having such a large sculpture there. The one in Brussels is quite small and blends into the surroundings. Interesting choice Wierd.

The contrast with the surroundings the artist liked very much
It is great that it is shown like this
