Fertility God Priapus - Erotic Bronze - Greek god Priapus

Priapus, God of Fertility: A Two-Part Erotic Bronze Figurine – Signed by M. Nick

In his private studio in Montparnasse, M. Nick first sculpted the clay model from which this erotic Priapus statue would emerge. Over months of refinement, he captured the mischievous grin and confident stance of the Greek god Priapus, ensuring that every tendon and surface expressed both mythical power and playful sensuality. The artist submitted his masterful wax model to a renowned Parisian foundry for lost-wax casting—a demanding process that would immortalize his vision in luminous bronze.

Lyonnaissance and a Vision of Longing

Born in 1978 in historic Lyon, France, M. Nick grew up amidst the interplay of classical heritage and contemporary creativity. His childhood sketchbooks, filled with studies of Roman sculptures in the Musée des Beaux-Arts and graffiti murals along the Rhône quays, testify to his early fascination with form and narrative. These two influences—ancient myths and modern expressions—later converged in his bold explorations of the human body and its timeless desires.

Duality of Form and Function

This limited-edition erotic statue, numbered to only 20 casts, consists of two distinct elements that unite in ritual celebration. The central figure stands with a confident posture, sporting an unashamedly erect phallus—an unmistakable symbol of the fertility god Priapus. Beside him sits a slender, male plug that fits into the fluted socket on its base. Collectors can display the piece assembled or as individual sculptures, inviting playful exchange.

Technical mastery meets lyrical detail

M. Nick's unwavering control of the lost-wax casting process ensured that each execution retains the hallmarks of his artistry: from the crisp definition of Priapus's curly hair to the patinated waves along his muscular torso. The warm amber finish—achieved through multiple chemical baths and meticulous polishing—gives the bronze a near-lifelike beauty, highlighting raised veins and deeper vermillion shadows in every fold of his draped loincloth.

Echoes of Antiquity, Reimagined

Priapus, son of Aphrodite and Dionysus, once stood in garden groves as the protector of fertility and fragrant orchards. M. Nick embraces this ancient heritage while infusing it with contemporary boldness. The god's playful gaze bridges classical reverence and modern eroticism, transforming a centuries-old symbol into a vibrant testament to lust and abundance.

 

A celebration, limited to twenty collectors

Each bronze bears the discreet signature "M. Nick" and a numbered stamp on its polished marble base, making it one of only twenty pieces. This edition is both a valuable work of art and an intimate invitation into the collector's personal sanctuary.

Integrating Priapus into Modern Spaces

Placed on an elegant black console or embedded in a softly lit niche, this erotic statue becomes the center of admiration and conversation. The separate plug can be placed next to the god or attached to complete the legendary pose—a gesture that playfully recalls ancient garden rites. Whether in avant-garde lofts or curated work corners, it transforms any environment into a modern temple of fertility and pleasure.

The Enduring Fascination of Priapus in Bronze

With the figure of Priapus, the god of fertility, M. Nick invites us to rediscover an ancient myth as a tribute to the fertilizing forces of life. With only twenty examples made, this work embodies the rare combination of classical narrative, technical virtuosity, and unwavering eroticism. It is an enduring symbol—both a homage to Dionysian festivities and a clear statement that the power of myth still pulsates in bronze and flesh.
