Male Mermaid Statue

1. Introduction of Male Mermaid Statue

Elmgreen & Dragset, an art duo founded in 1995 by Danish artist Michael Elmgreen and Norwegian artist Ingar Dragset, are known for their interdisciplinary work encompassing sculpture, installation, architectural intervention, and public art. Their work often incorporates humor and satire, placing everyday objects in unconventional settings to challenge the audience’s preconceived notions of society, gender, consumer culture, and public art conventions. The Male Mermaid Statue, titled “Han,” is a polished stainless steel sculpture of a man approximately 1.8 meters tall, located in Helsingør Harbor, Denmark.

The Sitting Mermaid Statue‘s form draws inspiration from the classic seated pose of Copenhagen’s “The Little Mermaid,” but without the fishtail, the figure reveals a young man with a naked lower body. The figure of the Male Mermaid Statue sits on a smooth “rock,” knees bent, hands resting naturally, and leaning slightly forward. The sculpted figure’s clean, modern features elicit a quiet, contemplative expression, devoid of the majesty of traditional heroic statues. Arturban Statue can customize various stainless steel statues. Welcome to contact us for more details.
