New Work for the Tullman Collection by Martin Di Girolamo



Sassy, sexy and provocative, Martin Di Girolamo’s sculptures cleverly capture the glamorous image of 21st century beauty. Recalling the erotic nudes portrayed by Mel Ramos and Tom Wesselman, this young, Argentine sculptor defines new parameters of sensuality and eroticism - without employing traditional methods of working with a live model, Di Girolamo carefully constructs his realistically detailed resin casts from a vast selection of photographic images. His innovative creative process could aptly be described as highly detailed pre-production work in creating every man’s fantasy muse.
