Penis Satan, Guerrilla art statue in Clark Drive Plaza, Vancouver, Canada.
This seven-foot-tall bright red fiberglass sculpture stood on a concrete platform near Clark Drive and Great Northern Way, clearly visible to passersby in the area. The figure occupied a prominent spot close to the SkyTrain Expo Line route.
The unauthorized artwork appeared on September 9, 2014, immediately drawing public attention to the location. City officials removed it within two days, but the conversation it sparked continued well beyond its brief presence.
The statue emerged as a response to public conversations about religious imagery and social issues, drawing attention from those interested in unconventional artistic expression. Its presence sparked discussions about the boundaries between provocation and artistic freedom.
The location was accessible from the SkyTrain station and sat in an open urban area easy to reach on foot. The spot was visible during daylight hours and required no special arrangements to visit.
More than 2,600 people signed a petition requesting that the temporary installation be preserved, revealing unexpected public support for this unauthorized work. This response made the project a notable example of how the public engages with street art.
