The Kaohsiung Children’s Museum of Art is surrounded by chameleons and creative, whimsical animals designed by Hsu Tzu-kuei. Hsu uses colorful and lively chameleons as a central theme and imbues them with innocent, childlike qualities. He focused on color and design in the creation of these children’s “toys” to attract their attention and offer a rich sensory experience.
The piece was built first in iron structure before being covered in cement and colorful mosaic tiles. The vivid chameleons climbing on the Kaohsiung Children’s Museum of Art invite children and adults into a romantic, magical fantasy world.
高雄兒童美術館周邊藏著幾隻又像變色龍，又像某種珍奇精怪的小動物，這些小動物們出自藝術家許自貴之手。
藝術家以色彩繽紛、活潑可愛的變色龍為主題，回歸天真單純的童心，專注於色彩與造型的表現，就像一個個充滿童稚趣味的「玩具」，吸引每一位兒童的目光，帶給孩子們豐富的感官體驗。
鐵材結構的支架，被水泥砂層包覆成型，再以五彩繽紛的馬賽克磁磚鑲嵌於上，透過不同形狀與色系的磁磚排列，奇幻地表現出變色龍俏皮的表情與顆粒狀的立體外觀，生動地攀爬在建築周遭，彷彿帶領親子進入一個浪漫、魔幻的異想世界。
