Rooster candy is a public art object with a height of more than three meters, located in the Lipetsk region. The body of the sculpture is made of large sheets of COR-TEN steel, forming a stylized crystalline figure, its shape resembling a rooster on the stick as a candy. Being massive and inspired by avant-gardists, the “geometrically” complicated technique of the sculpture opposes the ease and inartificial ways of its message. The work symbolically conveys the state of the holiday and the general fun from the ancient times in the country where Weld Queen was born.
The sculpture refers to our childish desire to get everything right away. Moreover, this infantile feeling is also relevant for an adult person, since with age our requests and desires only increase. Growing dissatisfaction often makes us unhappy and discontented, because “sweets” or other benefits are always not enough to become saturated completely. Rooster candy is a huge lollipop of “caramel” colour, thanks to which we symbolically remove all “adult” prohibitions from ourselves and get the desired in unlimited quantities. This «desired candy» will last for a lifetime.
