The voluptuous statue of a mermaid in a
square in a Puglia, southern Italy, has caused a stir for being “too
provocative”. Created by students at the Luigi Rosso art school in Monopoli, it
is yet to be officially inaugurated. It became a target of ridicule after
photos were taken and shared on social media. Marciano, the headteacher at the
Luigi Rosso art school, defended the statue, saying it was a “tribute to the
great majority of women who are curvy”. The students were tasked by the mayor
to create statues, including one on the theme of the sea.
Troy Emery works with textiles in a sculptural practice to produce
figurative forms and imagery. His artwork examines the discourse surrounding
our natural world. Emery is interested in the boundaries between fine art, museums,
natural history, craft, and the domestic space, seeing his works as blurring
between each of these thresholds. Emery’s works function as both decorative
motifs and tokens of ecological ruination and alienation. His work’s obscure
forms under lurid colour and textures, exploring a materiality through the use
of mass-produced decorative craft components. These function as a point of
opposition to the traditions of hard figurative sculpture. https://troyemery.net/
