Harbour Home

Another of Richard Woods' colourful artworks for the Folkestone Triennial. This one is situated on the harbour arm and has excellent views to both France and Folkestone:)

colour is just so vibrant and strong.
August 31st, 2017  
Strong colour, but I'm failing to get the 'art' bit. Still expecting Lego men to appear 🙂
August 31st, 2017  
Yes, well, I am sure they have generated lots of discussion!
August 31st, 2017  
Ha, your beginning to sound like an estate agent :-)
August 31st, 2017  
It really is a focal point :)

Great shot. Love the colour and contrast. Fav

Is this a real building? The way it is positioned it could also be an addition to the photograph!

@johnsutton Thanks John, the minute I see a Lego Man I'll snap him! RW is hoping the various installations around the town will highlight the present housing crisis where many people own more than one home and others are homeless. A high proportion of houses in the area are apparently holiday homes.

@peadar They're proving to be a talking point and you can't really miss them!

@suzanne234 Thanks Suzanne, they all seem to be placed in quite des res situations!

Loving the color pop and juxtaposition. Great pic, I love it!

@maggiemae Yes, they are real. Made in the style of a cartoon with the bright garish colours of the 1970s. They are a third of the size of an average bungalow and the windows/doors do not open. There's a lit of information on RW on the internet and he does seem to be famous internationally.

@gretchenhambly Thanks very much! I've only tracked down 3 of the 6 so far, it's a work in progress for me to date. If you like this one, you will like the floating pink home in the harbour:). When I first saw them I thought they were gimmicky but they've grown on me very quickly, they're definitely eccentric but make a real statement. Glad you like this one too.
August 31st, 2017  
Eccentric, yes. Fun, yes. What's not to like?

You might want to watch that first step down. It's a doozy.
Wonderful colours in his harbour homes. Great shot.
