Florentijn Hofman is the artist behind the iconic Rubber Duck Project. Symbolizing world peace, social harmony, and human unity, the giant yellow duck—brimming with childlike innocence and joy—has been traveling the world since 2007, visiting numerous countries and cities. The Rubber Duck China Tour is part of this global journey, aiming to bring contemporary art into China and, through exhibitions in public spaces, to spark a dialogue between art and the public realm.
Wherever it goes, the Rubber Duck’s world tour draws enthusiastic crowds, delivering surprise and laughter and fulfilling the artist’s original vision. As an image that appears in the childhood memories of people across cultures, the Rubber Duck has a soothing, uplifting effect—helping people relax and reconnect with simple happiness. Free of borders, discrimination, or political messages, it has naturally attracted widespread attention.
Blending playfulness, innocence, and charm, the Rubber Duck invites more people to rediscover the beauty of purity and kindness.
