‘Duckfaces’ is a unique, hand-painted sculpture by Belgian artist Frans Vogels. Through this monumental duck, Vogels brings his distinctive visual language into three dimensions. Its surface is covered in an explosion of vibrant colours, bold black outlines, abstract figures, eyes, mouths and faces. Together, they form an almost kaleidoscopic composition in which no element seems accidental.

 

The title ‘Duckfaces’ playfully refers both to the faces covering the duck and to the ‘duckface’ expression associated with contemporary selfie culture. The many faces on the sculpture reinforce this idea, appearing to represent different personalities, emotions and identities at once.

 

The work sits at the intersection of pop art, street art and neo-expressionism, while retaining Vogels’ distinctive artistic signature. The combination of humour, vibrant colours and bold black lines makes it instantly recognisable, while the abundance of faces and symbols invites viewers to discover new details with every look.

 

‘Duckfaces’ is more than a painted sculpture. It is a contemporary artwork exploring image, identity and self-presentation through a playful, accessible form.

 

Entirely painted by hand, with a unique composition, ‘Duckfaces’ is a one-of-a-kind piece within Frans Vogels’ body of work.
