Forbidden Fruit - Erotic Fiberglass Sculpture - Martin Klein

The "Forbidden Fruit" is a variation of the "Apple Core" by Martin Klein. The "Apple Core" was designed in vivid colours; the flesh of the apple on the left is designed in silver. The title "Forbidden Fruit" refers to a biblical context. Forbidden fruit is a phrase that originates from Genesis concerning Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:16–17. In the narrative, the fruit of good and evil was eaten by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. As a metaphor, the phrase typically refers to any indulgence or pleasure that is considered illegal or immoral.

Our modern fiberglass sculptures were produced in a complex manufacturing process. Fiberglass (or fibreglass) is a fiber reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibers of glass. Fiberglass is a lightweight, extremely strong and robust material, and is used for many products. Although its strength properties are somewhat lower than carbon fiber and it is less stiff, fiberglass is typically far less brittle, and its raw materials much less expensive. Its bulk strength and weight properties are also very favorable when compared to metals, and it can be easily formed using molding processes. All of our sculptures were produced in a strictly limited edition.
