Over the last couple of weeks I have been featuring sculptures at the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition. This curious sculpture at the entrance to the exhibition was not actually one of the exhibits but a clever, or rather, sneaky promotion. The "Hello Sydney" number plate features an email address which is also inscribed on the 'artwork'. Once you visit the website, you realise this 'sculpture' was actually an advertisement for a new car, which is about to be launched.

J, it is an excellent image. Great idea on the advertisers.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant art work.
ReplyDeleteThe scourge of product placement!

Somehow they always manage to squeeze in an advertisement! Terrific capture as always, Jim! Hope you have a great weekend!

Someone is very creative and artsy.

Very surprising and creative. For a moment I really had the feeling I was looking to an advertisement in stead of to your weekly SWF post ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteMy Skywatch, hope you can visit? Thank you!
art is where you find it, - a great advertisement.
ReplyDeleteWow, it really attracts attention!
ReplyDeleteI take it there is more to the car than that, though its
ReplyDeleteskeleton is interesting!
Ahh, sneaky!
ReplyDeleteWow this is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy week sky
The car is quite artistic. I enjoyed many of the art work. I wished to have the keeper in my garden. Also liked the leaf vessel very much. The greater grater made me smile, very useful when cooking for a crowd! We have something similar at Currumbin beach in September.
ReplyDeleteI hope they were allowed to put it on display.
ReplyDeleteIf only other advertisements were so clever.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting concept. I like the sculpture! :D
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

I enjoyed looking at the photos of the sculptures you posted. The tube of red paint was perhaps my favorite. Some of those I could have made. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed your sculpture by the seas shots Jim. There is not end to the creativity of the marketing people.
ReplyDeleteSo cool in blue too!
