About the Artwork

Perfect naked male sculpture; A man’s torso carved in pendale marble statue, for indoor or outdoor display. The same marble used to build the acropolis. Created by one of the most brilliant american sculptresses Sherry Tipton.

Artist Comment

This piece embodies much of what I love most in this world. A gorgeous man, strong without being pushy, assertive without aggression and this one, celebrating the feminine with the tattoo on his back. The sculpture material itself also thrills me even more than usual, because it is Pendele marble, the very same marble used in ancient times to build the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. After operating for 3,000 years, the quarry was closed, so blocks are becoming more and more rare. The opportunity to carve it it is precious to me and I have done my best to do it justice. It was the hardest marble I have ever carved, giving me a better understanding of why large sections of the Parthenon remain standing even today. From the time they are small boys, the message men receive from society is that they are less beautiful, less sensitive and less nurturing than women. My hope is that this sculpture allows a viewer to see that at least for the physical beauty aspect of that message, how completely mistaken that message it is.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
