Dissolved Girl

Painted on the Mardyke Walk, Cork. This bust references the Venus Italica by Antonio Canova, A figure studied in the Crawford Gallery's Recasting Canova exhibition. A collection of some of the greatest works of Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture in the Vatican Museums, brought to Cork in 1818 and have since transformed the ways in which art has been appreciated, studied, and practiced in the south of Ireland. This fractured version of the Venus is a continuation of D!VE’s ongoing series of fractured statues ‘Destruction, Deconstructed, which comprises of many pieces from the Canova collection as these works, as intended by their display, had inspired the project from it’s beginning.
