Getting Ziggy with it

This is a post, is for Beautiful Sunday hosted by @ace108, and Sublime Sunday, created and hosted by @c0ff33a, I try each week to think of something that may fit both of these challenges and when I visited Union Square earlier this week and saw a piece of art there I thought it fit well for both of these challenges

^{Sony A7iii 28mm F4.5 1/60 Sec ISO 320}

This is a piece of Art entitled Ziggy and is by artist Hou De Sousa, and I did share a phone shot of it in an Actifit post earlier in the week, but as I often do I also took some shots of it with my camera. this piece was selected as the winning entry for the sixth annual Flatiron Public Plaza Holiday Design Competition. “Ziggy” opened on November 18, 2019.

Now for me, the vibrant colors and cool shape of this make it a beautiful eye-catching art piece, but as is often case with art beauty is in the eye of the beholder so some may see this as sublime

Here is a shot of it from another angle

^{Sony A7iii 28mm F3.5 1/60 Sec ISO 250}

Below is what I found online as the artists description of the piece
Ziggy celebrates the holiday season with vibrant hues and playful gestures. Located between Broadway, 5th Ave and 23rd Street, the project softly ricochets between the narrow bounds of its triangular site, effectively echoing the urban and architectural context while establishing a broad structural footprint.

And lastly, how could I not get a shot of it with the Flatiron Building as a backdrop, the people in this shot gives a sense of its size, even in the morning light the colors of this piece really pop, it really must stand out at night I would imagine

Outstanding! I love the ziggy display and the fact that it is in front of one of my favorite buildings doesn't hurt it. I did see the earlier post and was not able to comment on it. You had a spectacular shot of the flatiron building in it.

At night, it surely is breathtaking. You are so right.

I do so love your take on the city and how you view it through your eyes and lenses. I have never seen anyone cover so much in one week as you do. It is always a pleasure to peruse your posts, old or new. I find myself wandering through them, always finding something that I overlooked. You give us so much to see!

A Beautiful Sunday indeed! Sublimely so!

Upped and Steemed

does look like an interesting zig piece of art that adds colors to the grey. Wonder how it withstands the weather.

@tattoodjay Just answered this and now it shows up again via Steemreply. I downsize each photo before I use it. Perhaps a site or app you use does it too? But I think my slow connection is the problem.❤️

When I think of Ziggy its either my grocery brand of sandwich meats or I may be in the mood for some David Bowie music. 😉

The only think close to art that I am OK at is Photography and Cross Stitch which I used to do many years ago, trust me drawing and painting is something I have no talent for :)

Oooooooh!!! I always LOVED cross stitch! It was the ONLY form of needlework I was ever any good at, mostly because I am a lefty I think and all my teachers used to tear their hair out with me and having to do everything backwards waahahahaha!!!

I love this colorful piece of art.

Did you make it pop with some sort of photo voodoo or is everything around it really that gray?

There is a lot of happy emanating from that art.
