Join me in this blog to discover the huge colourful bonbon-sculptures of the artist Laurence Jenkell. From end of May till mid September 2012 the expo showing these 15 colourful sculptures is decorating the garden in front of the town hall in Calais...
Almost all pieces of art carry one of the European flags: one may spot France, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, etc...There is one bonbon even dedicated to the "dentelle" of Calais, also one to the EU, but there was none with the Bulgarian flag.
Her work is amusing and fun - they make you smile and that has to be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI really like these! They are fun and quirky. I also like that they represent different countries and their colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing! :)
I have no idea how many times I have drive through, or over Calais and I have never actually seen it. Thanks for these photos. Diane
