DAVID MIXNER
COMMISSIONS ARTIST PHILIP HITCHCOCK
Los Angeles, March 1999- Author and political activist David Mixner has commissioned artist Philip Hitchcock to create a very special, and very personal sculpture. Mixner, who authored the top selling book, A
Stranger Among Friends, wanted a figure that was a departure from the
physically perfect models Hitchcock so frequently uses. "I was
interested in a model who had an understated sensuality and innocence,"
remarked Mixner who has already collected two of the artist¼s pieces, "I
wanted a body type that had an everyman quality." The final sculpture
was composed from a single model who posed for multiple castings. Five
separate pieces comprise the finished sculpture which is boldly
displayed in Mixner's foyer. "When people ask me if it's about civil
rights or the struggle to be free... I just smile," says Mixner.
"ECSTASY BOUND" can also be seen in Eroticism.
