Sculptor, Jeremy Fattorini has re-created Rodin’s much loved sculpture, ‘The Kiss’, using MARMITE to celebrate Valentines Day.
Fattorini, 38, originally from Guernsey, took nearly two and a half weeks to sculpt the 7ft replica statue which was coated in limited edition ‘I Love You’ Champagne Marmite.
The work was ‘unveiled’ today in London’s Greenwich Park in time for Valentines Day. The sculptor used 420 jars of Champagne Marmite to create the work.
The artist said: “It will be interesting to see if this gains more popularity than the statue at St Pancras. I’m sure that Marmite will once again polarize the nation – you’ll either love it or hate it. It’s a good thing I like the stuff, as I was licking my fingers as I created it!”
