The Space Venus is a contemporary adaptation of the Large Roman Marble Venus (Lot. 63), created by Matthew Dorabiala a talented London-based contemporary artist. His practice is heavily inspired by classical masterpieces, such as the aforementioned Marble Venus which he encountered in our Bloomsbury gallery when searching for inspiration. With help from our digital team, he 3D scanned the marble piece and reimagined it using cutting-edge artistic processes such as CAD software, 3D printing and 24k gold gilding
From the artist: The Space Venus sets to tackle our accompanying us from the dawn of our existing relationship with beau-ty. It does that by transcending the visage of its earth-bound inspirational base, the white marble Venus, into a 3D printed reinstallation, gilded in 24k gold. Furthermore, the gold-black contrast symbolises our fascination with what lies ahead of us.
