Bacchus
Description
Bacchus is a spirited bronze sculpture by North Carolina artist Roger Martin, capturing the Roman god of wine, revelry, and pleasure with both grace and mischief. Cast in a limited edition of 37, the sculpture reflects Martin’s deep understanding of form and expression, honed over decades of wildlife sculpture and anatomical study. Here, Martin steps beyond the natural world to interpret a classical figure, infusing Bacchus with a sense of movement, joy, and timeless indulgence. Bold yet refined, the piece brings a mythic presence to any outdoor setting.
Artist’s Statement
“My goal is to capture the essence or personality of the subject, not just an accurate anatomical replica of the species. I have spent much of my life studying animals. The more an artist knows their subject, the easier it is to push the envelope to achieve a truly expressive piece.”
