Representing the height of glitz in the golden age of Hollywood silver screen stars, a sultry Marilyn Monroe in Russell Young Marilyn Goddess, 2009 materializes from the darkness. Taking on a three dimensional quality, light dances across the surface of the piece, reflecting off the diamond dust crystals, veiling our subject in a heavenly glow. With a distant gaze, her expression of beauty is matchless, and her presence, divine. An exquisite portrayal of the starlet, this enchanting Russell Young piece confronts the idyllic mythology of Marilyn Monroe who remains utterly transfixing to the public long after her glory.
