It might seem like a strange sight to make a statue out of, but Bad Dog by Richard Jackson features a 28-foot puppy peeing onto the side of a wall. Installed at the Orange County Museum of Art, the huge creation is being praised by visitors as being either a goofy new addition or a somewhat out of place installation. This mixed bag of reviews is helping to skyrocket the creation to receiving widespread media coverage.
The installation is playful, doesn't take itself too seriously and definitely grabs attention; these are all perfect characteristics that I believe makes it the perfect new addition to the southern California museum. However you view Bad Dog by Richard Jackson, just make sure you aren't in the relief zone of the giant pooch.
