Bus doing pushups

This is another art work that created to celebrate the Olympic in London this summer. The image of this huge piece of art work gives very strong images. It is very interesting that the bus is doing push up, perhaps the artist was trying to implies that in order for London to host the Olympic that their transportation has to do the heavy lifting. I’ve always enjoyed the huge art works like this; it is very interesting yet is free for everyone to view which implies that art is for everyone. People can feel free to take picture and appreciate it closely. I believed this is also a piece of Dadaist but I can’t be sure of that. Even though the concept is very clear, it is very hard to make this image to exist like we are now seeing. To assemble the arms for the bus and making the bus raise unbalance seems like a huge work. I believed that they moved all the parts to the place where they wanted to exhibits and assemble them together, otherwise there is no way they can movie this object as the way it is. The spray painting of this art work might be even more challenging, considered the arm color has to match the body of the bus. While putting them together the paint can easily be scratch. After all, with the huge sport event like this nothing match better than the huge bus doing pushups and getting ready for the excited London Olympic.
