Torso Fragment
''Torso Fragment'', a public sculpture by American artist Casey Eskridge, is located on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus, near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The piece was donated to IUPUI and is located outside of the west entrance to Eskenazi Hall on IUPUI's campus. Eskenazi Hall houses Indiana University’s Herron School of Art and is located at 735 W. New York Street in Indianapolis. The sculpture was created in 2005.
''Torso Fragment'' is 20" long by 17" wide by 37" high. The metal work of public art stands atop a concrete base, with a label identifying the artist, title, and year of creation on the proper front (south side) of the base.
==Description==
“The torso piece, commissioned by his alma mater, the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, resembles a piece from classical antiquity, except that instead of being carved in stone, it's formed from aluminum”. Eskridge's creation of Torso Fragment was clearly influenced by the classical sculpture developed during the 5th century BC in Ancient Greece and the exaggerated contrapposto form.
This silver sculpture of a male torso twists in a classical S Curve form, with the proper right thigh extending forward and its counterpart—the proper left thigh—in a flexed, straight position. The S Curve continues with a slight twist in the torso and finishes with the proper right shoulder raised while proper left shoulder slacked and extended downward. The sculpture can be described as “a truncated male figure that shows a muscular torso slightly turned - might have been lifted from an archaeological ruin”.〔 Departing from this reference to classical sculpture, Torso Fragment is hollow and aluminum, reminding a viewer of its modern origins.
