About the Item
“Aphrodite” by Will Binder reimagines the goddess of beauty and love in her complete, restored form. Inspired by the legendary ancient statue—now missing its arms—Binder offers a vivid and realistic vision of how she might appear today.
Art historians and specialists have long debated whether the original sculpture depicted Aphrodite holding a mirror, symbolizing beauty and self-reflection, or an apple, representing desire and allure. In this contemporary interpretation, Binder masterfully restores her missing arms, seamlessly integrating them into the figure’s timeless body. Aphrodite holds an apple in her hand, a powerful symbol of divine beauty deeply rooted in Greek mythology. The artist masterfully restores her missing arms with seamless precision, integrating them into the statue’s timeless body. Painted with exceptional skill through masterful oil painting, Binder captures the smooth texture, subtle veining, and luminous surface of marble, achieving a lifelike quality that blurs the boundary between painting and sculpture. This striking realism blurs the line between painting and sculpture, bringing the goddess into the present day while honoring her classical origins.
Aphrodite merges art history, mythology, and contemporary fine art into a single, arresting image. It is ideal for collectors seeking mythology-inspired paintings, figurative oil on wood works, and realistic depictions of iconic deities. Binder’s vision revives a lost masterpiece, celebrating the enduring power of beauty, love, and artistic imagination.

ABOUT THE ARTIST - Aaron Sheppard’s work speaks eloquently about constructing and projecting identity, religiosity, sexuality, and counterfactual historicism. His filter is the culture’s love of fame and/or pornography, mixed with the romance and perversion of classical allegorical portraiture. His lavish materiality finds a narrative function for neon light tubes...
