Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez’s Love Captured Forever In A Nude Statue
"Justin and Selena as One"

American pop culture artist Daniel Edwards has struck again, y’all … and his latest piece of artwork is really a doozy. As you may know, Edwards has previously created sculpture artwork in tribute of some of the most notable pop culture stars of the day including Brangelina, Angelina Jolie herself and her twin babies, Octomom Nadya Suleman, of course Britney Spears and more. These days, Edwards has set his sights on the new generation of pop culture stars … focusing squarely on Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The pair are depicted, mostly nude, in a statue that joins them at the hip (literally) and is titled Justin and Selena as One. You have GOT to check out the photos below.

A controversial artist has unveiled his latest creation – a statue showing teen singer Justin Bieber and his celebrity girlfriend as Adam and Eve. Teen Choice Award winners Bieber and Selena Gomez are presented as a 21st Century Adam and Eve in a new life size [sculpture] created by American Daniel Edwards. It depicts the teenagers almost entirely nude, with a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star covering their most intimate parts. The [sculpture] will be unveiled at Dallas’s New Fine Arts, near Gomez’s hometown, at a time yet to be announced by Cory Allen Contemporary Art. Titled Justin and Selena as One, it features the naked couple conjoined at the torso, each seeming to emerge from the other’s rib. Together, they have three legs, sharing Selena’s right leg as she appears to lead the younger Justin toward ‘Eden’. The couple are being led by an amorous Canada goose and Texas armadillo. The portrait was said to be partly inspired by Canadian Bieber’s boasts of Canada’s successful single payer national health care system.
Edwards said his creation ‘should be considered for installation at Canadian Embassies around the globe as a symbol of Canada’s prowess in the areas of art and commerce.’ He added: ‘I believe Justin and Selena would ultimately choose Canada for their Garden of Eden, because Canada’s Medicare and AAA credit rating make it easier for young couples who may find themselves in the family way.’ Edwards’ spokesman Cory Allen said: ‘Justin and Selena joined together, symbolizes the great harmony between neighbouring countries Canada and The United States. Daniel is the sculptor known for his controversial works that include a statue of Britney Spears giving birth, Michelle Obama topless, Oprah with her late dogs and Paris Hilton’s insides. Justin and Selena aren’t the first celebrity couple he has sculpted. In 2009, he made a statue of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a lovers’ embrace titled simply Brangelina. He also immortalised Angelina in the nude, with her twins Vivienne and Knox suckling at either breast.


LOL! I love Daniel Edwards‘s artwork overall … it’s timely, it’s interesting and yes, it’s funny. He tends to select just the right subjects for his pieces and he manages to feature them in poses that are SURE to spark conversation. Love his work or hate it, he deffo knows how to make a statement with his art. Speaking of this piece in particular … I’m not sure if I am in love with it or not. I feel quite uncomfortable that Justena are mostly nude but, sometimes art is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. I do love that the couple are joined at the hip … that’s a deffo statement right there. The goose and the armadillo are weird but I get it. I dunno … what do y’all think? Is this a piece of art that YOU would want to see up close and personal?

    It looks like the goose is doing the armadillo, but maybe that’s just me… As a Canadian, I am mildly mortified.

  2. TJ says:

    In the second photo it looks as though the goose is mounting the armadillo.

  3. Mela says:

    Yeah that is odd…I get the animal choices but the placement makes it creepy. Way to make it awkward Edwards.

  4. Manderz says:

    I feel really dirty right now…and im now afraid that looking at these statues put me on some kind of list somewhere…considering beiber is not of age lol

  5. Zanne says:

    Yeah, I don’t like the idea of nude-ish art of someone who is not 18. Kinda’ creepy. :p

    As a Dallasite, this is cracking me up. I heard coverage of this on the local news and they implied that the Canada goose is intentionally mounting the Texas armadillo. By the way, New Fine Arts is a noted porn store in Dallas, so this is a classy and hilarious event all the way around. I don’t think I’ll be attending the unveiling, though, unless you need a corresponent, Trent!

    18, 25, 31, 50, 5. Whatever age they are, that’s kinda creepy and wrong. I don’t even consider them as an “it” couple. And not to sound cynical, but I’ll be surprised if they’re still together this time next year, which makes this statue for me like one of those tattoos that you get of your boyfriend/girlfriend when you’re “in love” and think it’ll last forever.

    “Edwards said his creation ‘should be considered for installation at Canadian Embassies around the globe as a symbol of Canada’s prowess in the areas of art and commerce.’” Haaahahahaha seriously dying right now.

    That looks more like Fergie… Something about the eyebrows and center part.

    I never think this guy’s pieces look like the people they are supposed to be. I think the animals are pretty funny, but his human subjects aren’t that impressive to me.

    I find him to the Lady Gaga of sculpture art.

    Interesting at first, then you realise that its all just for attention.
    Make some real art and then maybe you can gain some respect.
