This is, ahem, a shiny, almost life-sized white naked male.
We tend to be a bit coy when it comes to the male anatomy, especially in TV and films. By contrast, women’s bits are routinely on display. This sculpture serves to redress the balance. It is made from a real human being, with nothing added or taken away. It is neither enhanced or reduced. The tummy is real. The bum is real. It’s man as he is. He isn’t an Adonis, just a real guy.
The penis is at the centre of this work. Put the sculpture on a table and you can’t avoid seeing the man’s cock. It’s at eye level.
I produced this work by getting a life model into a scanning studio where they scan everything from car parts to medical devices. We scanned this using their one of their high resolution, commercial-quality devices. I then got it printed using shiny resin, and topped it with glass, so you can use it as a table top.
It will be a talking piece, possibly shocking, definitely distinctive.
You will also see some imperfections in the torso, due to the printing process (it’s still a developing art), though I will do some sanding before you get it. And the top is at a slight angle, due to the model’s stance. The incline is only slight, so glasses stay on it.
The torso is mounted on an oak block which came from my local saw mill, and oiled to enhance the grain. The oil won’t come off on furniture. It has hardened. Unlike varnish it makes the wood shine though. It’s very heavy.
The torso is mounted on the block using steel rods and a bolt. When you get it, and I will provide instructions, you push the rods into the wood block, and secure with the nut. It comes complete. It is very straightforward.
The table top is white tempered oval glass. I have put two glasses on the glass to show you the scale. The glass is heavy. I haven’t stuck the glass to the torso, because transporting it would be difficult. You can glue it if you want.
Each piece is hand-made, from selecting wood at the saw mill, to printing the sculpture which takes hours. I have signed the piece on the underside of the block.
