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's 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 Guarantee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee 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 acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish 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 guarantee.

    Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.

  • How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?

    From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.

    Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.

  • Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?

    When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.

  • How to Purchase from ArtParkS

    You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.

    Payment can be made by Direct Debit, cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal, though we try to avoid the latter as we have to pass on their 5% fee to you.

  • Where Can Your Order Be Delivered?

    Your sculpture can be delivered anywhere in the world, provided a delivery vehicle can gain access. For special arrangements, contact Peter at [email protected] or +44(0)1481 235571.
