Replete & Sune paint 4 metre high sumo sculpture, by Replete on Oct 30, 2008 19:08:43 GMT 1, This week me and Sune have been painting these 4m high Sumo sculptures for reknowned artist David Mach.

We were commissoned to paint them in realistic skin tones, anatomical features and clothing.

Built in fibreglass and steel by Sam Clayton and Mark Jacobs the team behind a lot of the large scale Andy Goldsworthy sculptures.

It's a more complex and improved update of an earlier work by Mach entitled 'It Takes Two' that was toured round the world and sited at such places like the Louvre and outside Euston station.

They'll be sited in 2010 in Marseille and once completed they'll be pushing a full size cargo container at each other. They also may be shown in 2009 at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
