Weird Art (for Weird People)

Weird art is where imagination runs wild, and rules politely excuse themselves. This community celebrates the bold, the bizarre, the tender, the delightfully unhinged.

If it’s strange, soulful, handmade, and human, it belongs here. All weird art is welcome… as long as it’s not AI-generated.

They look like every morning you'll find them in a slightly different pose to the evening before.

There is one in Ottawa, Canada!! I've been to it in person. (Not my photo)

There was one at Tate Modern, London in 1999.

It is ominious to walk under these.

Also one in Tokyo, I have also been to it in person and it is also not my photo

I was so excited to mention the Ottawa one, I skate nearby often in the summer. Thanks for adding the photo, further than I was going to go!

Reminds me of the striders in Half-Life

So...are they just appearing everywhere? Is this an alien invasion?

Just wait for the stage 2 of the plan!

When people realise what those "sculptures" actually are, it will be too late!

It's really impressive how weirdly organic the many angles look!

Reminds me of the sculpture right at the front of NSW Art Gallery in Sydney.... And I don't have a photo
