Overview
Ellie is a 6 meter tall colorful elephant that is one of seven sculptures of Ken Kelleher to be installed in the Boulevard Riyadh City area. The Boulevard is one of the most important destinations of the Riyadh season, located in the north of Riyadh. It contains several events. It is the largest sustainable entertainment hub in the season. It includes gardens, a dance fountain, several cafes, local and global restaurants, and shops for the most famous local and world brands in the Boulevard Square area. The Garden Hub zone contains many restaurants and many theaters for artistic and singing performances.
Goals
The goals of my sculpture project for Blvd City in Saudi Arabia were to create a captivating centerpiece that serves as a focal point of entertainment, injects the space with humor, and adds a vibrant burst of personality. It aimed to extend the brand of the entertainment venue, embodying its spirit of creativity and innovation while providing a dynamic and engaging experience for visitors.
