Mel Ramos Sculptures
American, 1935-2018
Mel Ramos’s provocative, humorous paintings mix idealized nude women with the imagery of popular culture—Coca Cola bottles, movie posters, and the like. A prolific artist from his emergence in the 1960s onward, Ramos has often based his nudes on the female celebrities of the day, from Marilyn Monroe to Scarlett Johansson. His style references the sensuality and glossy flatness of pin-ups and Playboy spreads and has drawn the ire of feminists and art critics alike, despite Ramos’s assertion that his works are “apolitical”. Though clearly aligned with Pop art in his appropriation of imagery from mass media and consumer products, Ramos calls his practice rooted in Surrealism and its emphasis on “absurd conjunctions”—in his case, a beautiful nude woman emerging from a Snickers wrapper or lounging seductively in a banana split.to

Venus de Milo Sculpture (Alexandros of Antioch) /// Contemporary Classics Nude
By Jack Graves III
Located in Saint Augustine, FL
Artist: Jack Graves III (American, 1988-)
Title: "Venus de Milo Sculpture (Alexandros of Antioch)"
Series: Sculpture
*Signed, titled, and dated by Graves on bottom
Year: 2022
Medium: Original Acrylic Painted Cast Marble Sculpture
Dimensions: 15.75" tall x 4.38" wide x 4.38" deep
Weight: 5.4 pounds
Condition: In mint condition
Notes:
This is a unique work, not from an edition. The raw white cast marble sculpture itself was not created by the artist; it is a found object which Graves has hand-painted and transformed with his own design. The sculpture is cast marble: over 90% natural crushed Greek Marble stone with a small amount of resin poured into a mold, made in Heraklion, Greece.
The Venus de Milo is an ancient Greek sculpture that was created during the Hellenistic period, sometime between 150 and 125 BC. It is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, having been prominently displayed at the Louvre Museum since shortly after the statue was rediscovered on the island of Milos...
