I spotted this on Saturday during my last stop at Mercury Espresso Bar in Leslieville. I should have asked about more details in regards to this piece, but I was just too ready to devour my iced americano instead. There also appeared to be scotch tape shells of this statue in the window as well. Whatever it is, I love it. I would be proud to have this as a yard statue or maybe a decorative lamp stand.
(The title under the statue says “Large Coffee Cup, Cement, 2005).
Kudos to you, unknown artist. Once I find out who you are, I’ll update this post accordingly.
so cool! how tall is it? how can we get one for our apartment?
the whole exhibit is excellent! they’ve got wall hangings and bits and bobs all to do with coffee. I think they’ve got the profile of the artist on site.
