Ribbit the Exhibit II unfolds as a delightful collection of handcrafted frog sculptures that hop right into the hearts of visitors. Created by artist Andy Cobb, this collection of photographs takes a frolicsome dive into a world where amphibians don tuxedos and tutus, and each piece exudes its own playful personality.
The series is as much about the creative patina as it is about the sculptures themselves. Andy chooses finishes that enhance the natural beauty of the copper, using heat-induced colors and chemically controlled oxidizing processes to add depth and vibrancy to each piece. These finishes are not just for show; they promise longevity, ensuring that each frog can enjoy a long life in its new home. His latest works invite viewers to embrace a lighthearted take on sculpture, where fun meets finesse. The sculptures serve as a testament to the joy of creative freedom and the beauty of seeing the world through a lens of whimsy and wonder.
Ribbit the Exhibit II is available for viewing at Palm Beach County’s Mounts Botanical Garden until late May, 2025. See the sculptures in-person should you be looking for a fun escape into whimsy.
