'Birth of Venus Williams' Cast Bronze Sculpture by David Bender
About the Item
2018 epoxy on cast bronze by New York City artist, David Bender, entitled 'Birth of Venus Williams.'
A conceptual work which manages to be immensely insightful and thought-provoking while maintaining Bender's style of sculptural refinement and elegance. Small in scale, measuring height 11" x diameter 7"
The work conveys a social paradigm shift (specifically, an acknowledgement and celebration of women and the reconsideration of the definition of beauty). The central figure emerging from the 'egg' represents a rebirth yielding today's modern woman: one who is more empowered, enlightened, and free from the former confines of traditional beauty.
Artist's Statement:
When Botticelli painted the Birth of Venus for the Medici family during the Italian Renaissance it was to suggest to the world that there was a new standard of beauty. Six hundred years later, the standard of beauty represented in that art hasn’t changed all that much - just google ‘beautiful woman’ and see what you get.
The Birth of Venus Williams challenges what beauty means today.
I would like to think that beauty is defined by diversity - it has no ethnic boundaries. It is inclusive - gender does not make for beauty. It is compassionate and loving - real beauty comes from the heart. The narrative continues to shift. - David Bender
