STATUE

Sebastian is a unique larger-than-life size statue based on the model Sebastian Sauvé by the young British artist Stuart Sandford. Using state of the art 3D scanning and printing technology and taking its main inspirations from the Greco-Roman depictions of the youth Antinous, the myth of Narcissus and Charles Ray’s Boy with Frog, this project is both an exploration of contemporary representations of the masculine form as well as a comment on the icon and its place in contemporary culture. Alongside the finished 3D printed statue, which will stand 8 feet (243 cm) tall, a number of exact replica smaller 20 inch (50 cm) limited edition versions cast in bronze and 6 inch (15 cm) versions cast in marble dust and resin are being made, both from the same 3D source material as the full-size statue. Once completed, the statue will be exhibited around the UK and internationally.
