female statue

This remarkable contemporary sculpture is from Armando Ramirez in Mexico, who recycles auto parts and metal scrap to create unique works of art. A shapely female torso is created from scraps of sheet metal. A timing chain forms a sort of g-string bikini bottom, and the artist adds metal "fig leaves" to the front in a witty nod to classical sculpture.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.
