Visiting New Zealand? Watch out for Quasi.
of a hand fashioned with a human face, and while he may be one of the most controversial things in the island nation of New Zealand, but for the moment he still stands tall and proud.
Quasi is monumental in size. Nearly sixteen-and-a-half feet tall. There are no surrounding for him to shrink into should he feel shy or insulted. No eyes set in his direction could casually glance past him. His existence was designed for attention, though maybe not the kind he has received. His creator is the New Zealand-born, Australian-based artist Ronnie van Hout. It feels a bit rude to point out that much of van Hout's work errs towards the slightly disturbing and odd considering the oddest part of most of his work his in the insertion of the artist's own face, but so it is. Quasi is no exception. Not only is his face the artist's own, but his body is based on the artist's own hand.
Van Hout created Quasi in 2016. His original home was also the original home of the artist, Christchurch, New Zealand. He was meant to liven up the city after a 2011 earthquake, and was perched atop an art gallery. Though, he was not universally accepted even in his hometown.
