Bathing Female Nude (Ildefonso Marcelo)

_MG_9636

The bathing female nude is uncharacteristic of Marcelo’s more recognized aesthetic.  Done in concrete, it distinguishes itself from his other works.  The angularity and massiveness found in Contemplation, Captivity and The Challenge is here replaced with gentle curves and a delicate form.   It occupies a special place at the corner of the University Avenue and E. Jacinto Street as it forms part of a landscaped area complete with an ornamental pool and a small bridge.

  1. Dear SculpTour, I am Dr Alvin Marcelo, nephew of Ildefonso Marcelo. I can confirm that the bathing female nude is his and we have a wooden replica at home that he gave to my father (his brother), Dr Artemio Marcelo. Keep up the good work — it is very much appreciated —
