FORM Building a State of Creativity and the City of Subiaco are pleased to announce that one of Thomas Dambo’s Giants is on its way to the leafy suburb.
The Giant is part of an Australian-first exhibition by world-renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo called the Giants of Mandurah, which will launch to the public on Saturday 12 November.
Of the lost Giant, artist Thomas Dambo said, “After accidentally being separated from their Giant friends, this particularly curious Giant has wandered off on their very own adventure. We have it on very good authority that after embarking on a long journey from Mandurah and seeing many of the beautiful sites of Western Australia, it is due to arrive in the leafy surrounds of Subiaco on the 12th of November.”
City of Subiaco Mayor David McMullen said, “The City of Subiaco is excited to be bringing the international magic of Giants to our corner of WA. I encourage everyone of all ages to come along on this captivating journey of discovery to find our Giant. While you’re here, experience our heritage and enjoy everything that Subiaco has to offer. Discover a new or award-winning bar or eatery, an independent retailer or one of our many beautiful parks and grounds.”
Both an artist and environmental activist, Dambo’s artistic practice celebrates the diversity, beauty and importance of the natural world, using recycled and locally sourced materials in his creations.
Dambo has previously exhibited his larger-than-life wooden sculptures throughout the world, including in his home country of Denmark, as well as Chile, China, France, Germany, South Korea and the United States of America.
