I am a figurative sculptor in New Bedford, MA seeking models--both male and female of any ethnicity, to model at my studio in New Bedford.

My personal work is a quest to understand the human condition. As a sculptor, my interests lie in gesture, movement, and pose. The works are at times Illustrative, but always realist, exploring historical, and contemporary narratives—both known, and unknown. While many of the characters that I choose to sculpt seem to be rooted in the past, they are my own imaginings of things not fully understood. Issues surrounding beauty, the body, and identity, give rise to a version of contemporary mythology that is new, yet seemingly familiar.

I exhibit my work both regionally throughout Southern New England and nationally, recently showing in Philadelphia, PA, Lexington, KY, and Portland, OR.

In addition to my personal work, I do public commissions include the New Bedford Fisherman’s Tribute Monument and the memorial statue for former Massachusetts State Representative Tom Lopes. Both of these life-size bronze works were installed in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2016.

The best place to see examples of my studio practice are on my instagram @erik_durant and finshed works can be view on my website.
