Lyon,France's Flower Tree by Choi Jeong Hwa

When I visited Lyon, France I fell in love with this flower tree, it was such a bright  and beautiful contrast against the old world architecture, so you bet I took way too many pictures of this tree, but here are the top 3 best pictures:




The Flower tree was created by Choi Jeong Hwa, who creates amazing public art, here are some of my favorites:





Here is a video where he explains the philosophy behind his work, that I found at the Creator Project:

  1. Oh, how I love his colorful plastic art. I liked how he said that art is for everyone and that he is not the artist---but what an artist he is! Thanks for sharing the photos in Lyon.

  2. Hi gain. Good news.I got your card!!!!!
    It couldn't have gotten stolen since I share my mailbox only with one other tenant, but this morning I was looking for something through the pile of my kid's school art projects and there it was! My husband must have picked it up, didn't tell me about it and than shoved it into the art pile. Of course,I should have thought of that. :
    So no need to send another one! It so so lovely and happy and blending and blooming! I put it on my desk to always remind me to bloom! :) Thank you.♥
