Renowned for large-scale public art installations and known as the “father of the little yellow duck,” Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman launched his exhibition on December 28 at Taipei Huashan. Moving from outdoor installations to indoor spaces, the exhibit not only features the charming and lovable little yellow duck but also includes 11 popular classic animal works, allowing fans to view the world through childlike wonder.

In addition to the indoor exhibition, artist Hoffman has reinterpreted classic works in this exhibition by creating 11 brand-new oversized animal inflatables, exhibited in Taiwan for the first time in the world. In addition to the little yellow duck, there are also hugging elephants, moon rabbits, pink whales, and more. Fans can even get up close to touch the artworks and admire the massive creations up close.

With this exhibition in Taiwan, Hoffman hopes to reflect human equality and insignificance by enlarging the size of the artworks. He connects the works with local history, culture, and social meaning, using a variety of materials and aesthetic forms to interact with the local culture and environment. Each artistic creation has been beloved by fans.
