full-scale-t-rex-built-near-the-seine-river-paris-designboom-01Soaring over the seine river in paris now sits a life-size tyrannosaurus-rex sculpture, conceived and constructed by french artist philippe pasqua. 350 chrome moulded bones create the framework for the 3 by 6 meter (12′ by 21′) contemporary artwork. the t-rex, a fixture in popular culture, is characterised by its massive skull, long powerful tail, and treacherous teeth, all which are exemplified in Pasqua’s skeletal construction. the towering silver structure surprises passers-by, synthesising the relationship between artistry and shock value. Public installations have recently become a popular arena for artists following Florentijn Hofman’s giant inflatable rubber duck, which floated across harbours around the world.
