3/20/2006: Penis art [NSFW]

Artist Cees Krijnen has collaborated with with Freundenthal/Verhagen, Jason Wallis-Johnson and Oscar Süleyman to create this striking image which is both fantasy based and humorous. The work injects the penile imagery and literally sugar coats it in order for it to compliment its surroundings. This piece tackles the issues of virility and fantasy in a naive manner.


So says style/trendspotter blog The Cool Hunter. I for one couldn't use the phrase "injects the penile imagery" and get away with it; it takes that level of cool. Anyway, it's an interesting work, whether you examine it seriously... or just like thinking about some chick on a beach leapfrogging over increasingly firm units.

I wonder how long before some European art critic calls this sculpture a "whimsical erection"?

Interesting hurdles to jump!

So imagine you and the family enjoying a nice day at the beach....and you yelling at the children to be careful and stop standing on the head:redface:

It would be better if the woman was part of the artwork.
Kagen4o4 • Mar 20, 2006 5:51 pm
i can see her "accidently" not making it over the last one and landing on it.

"...it's twoo.....it's twoo........"

at least i know now that there must be more guys out there like me with blue peni' with pictures of clouds on them

The phalluseses would be an interesting art installation by themselves, but the leapfrogging woman just makes the photo.

Bruce...did you notice that it is entitled "Cock Blok"?
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 21, 2006 4:31 am
Yes. I wondered if they were alluding to a block of or for blocking? :confused:

i am pretty sure that, so far, only MEN have responded to this heady thread (my sincere apologies if one of you is a woman. I doubt it, though)

I saw this 11 minutes after UT posted it yesterday and I was so traumatized I had to log-off and watch cartoons for the rest of the day.
SteveDallas • Mar 21, 2006 9:13 am
Really? What cartoons do you like?

That's not art. It's just a freud.

xoxoxoBruce • Mar 21, 2006 6:52 pm
Oh really? :sniff:
Undertoad • Mar 21, 2006 7:03 pm
I SO did not to see that (and I've marked the thread NSFW)
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 21, 2006 7:34 pm
Sorry about that. When I tried to edit so I could add a NSFW title, it wouldn't let me add a title in the edit.
Of course I should have thought of it first time around but it's really not big enough to offend.:redface:
jojo • Mar 21, 2006 7:53 pm
HOLY SH_T!! let this be a lesson to all of us who decide to check in at work!!! (my co-workers couldn't figure out what happened to me!:mg: :redface: :eek: )
of course, now i think it's hilarious that i opened it at work:D

Good lord, woman...what do you do when you see a *real* pale blue penis with clouds painted on it?
barefoot serpent • Mar 22, 2006 10:33 am
Hopefully no one will think those will make a good drinking fountain.

Re: #20

I've heard of micro-penii, is this an example? (seriously...) I am at work and can't google it !
chrisinhouston • Mar 22, 2006 2:14 pm
This one really made me laugh. It immediatly brought back a memory of a hiking trip in northern New Mexico. Hot and tired we disrobed and dived into a mountian lake at about 11,000 ft. elevation. While the air had warmed up by early July the water hadn't. Think I probably resembled this guy when I got out! :eek:
chrisinhouston • Mar 22, 2006 2:18 pm
Just checked out the artists website, he's got some real talent! Here is one called "Golden Garden Sprinkler
Gold-plated lawn sprinkler set with diamond, 2003"

:neutral:

It is apparantly safe enough for MY workplace. The waitress happened to be looking over my shoulder and saw the lil fella. Laughed so hard everyone else HAD to see it too. :lol:

Even the little old lady at the next table had a good belly laugh.

I guess some people are showers, and some people are growers! Haha ;)

A truckload of Miracle-Gro and daily prayers to the gods of agriculture wouldn't make that baby any bigger. Trust me. The owner/operator has already tried that.
