Belgian artist Geoffroy Mottart ‘flowers up’ the often overlooked, historic busts found in parks and public spaces throughout Belgium. Bronze, stone statues depicting the likes of Leopold II, Hermes and the Goddess of Bocq are adorned with quirky flower beards and blossoming hairstyles.
‘The idea came to me because I realized that most people pass by these statues without paying attention to them,‘
said Mottart
‘by putting a floral note in places or on objects, spectators pay attention to my work and rediscover what surrounds it.’
