This looks better as a photo than in real life
Hideous statue, Elephant and Castle, London - it is hard to capture how awful it looks face to face

Looks like Harry Potter with a duck bill, Star Trek glasses, a tail, and wearing Crocs footwear.

It's definitely different

But it looks worse than it sounds

Very strange ...

The one on the left looks like Tiktok from, Return to Oz. What a tripped out movie that was, scary.

Reminds me of the alligator statue in downtown Brooklyn. I suppose it's a artsy joke about the belief many New Yorkers have that there are alligators living in our sewers.

Maybe Britain's second ugliest statue. St Marks Square Bromley. (Elephant and Castle has one uglier)

Waste of tax payer's money on post modernism.

By the way can anyone guess what the second statue is called?

Very true

Meh. It's art so we won't all agree on it. No more hideous than the thousands of drawings by children that their parents proudly hang up.

Let's be careful not to cross into any political posts.

What one finds less than satisfying, another loves. Some art is not for everyone but it is still art.
