Sculptor toasts Valentine's Day with The Kiss made from Marmite

Posted by Seamus
Sculptor, Jeremy Fattorini has re-created Rodin's much loved sculpture, 'The Kiss', using Marmite to celebrate Valentines Day. Fattorini 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!" Now, I was thinking, what's the point having the statue in Greenwich Park, why not replace the original....

I have to say, that the thought of coming home to my girlfriend covered in Marmite on Valentines is strangely alluring.... ;-)
