Super size your art with 'Venus' from Nick Turvey. This sculpture looks and surprisingly feels like human rolls of fat.
I'm sure Nick Turvey didn't have to look far and wide for inspiration when creating 'Venus.' This sculpture is a reflection of the times. People are getting bigger; it is only natural for art to follow suit.
Check out the gallery to see all of the sweaty, flabby, artistic goodness.
Implications - Artwork that has the ability to relate to its viewers is more appealing than pieces which only feature attractive imagery. Products that contain a familiar element are attractive to those who desire a closer connection to their art.
