I love a bit of meat which is why I love the work of Nicolas Lampert - his meat landscapes were previously featured here at Trend Hunter. This chicken takes it to a whole new level. Lampert worked with Micaela O’Herlihy to create this ten-foot rotisserie chicken out of polystyrene foam which was hard coated, painted with latex paint and final coat of high gloss varnish.
This piece, "Attention Chicken!" made surprise public appearances. Strangely, it was even attacked three times in one day!
