A US artist has sparked controversy by unveiling this sculpture meant to represent Justin Bieber's manhood. Daniel Edwards said he hopes the artwork - titled Allegory of a Teen Sex Symbol (Justin Bieber) - will spark a debate about the sexualisation of young stars. "Daniel wanted to create a work that opens a dialogue about the inevitable exploitation of teen sex symbols as they grow from child stars to adults, as we've seen with past celebutantes Lindsay [Lohan], Miley [Cyrus], and Britney [Spears]," said the artist's spokesperson, Cory Allen. The piece, which features the cartoon characters Sylvester and Tweety Pie, is said to be inspired by groupie Cynthia Plaster Caster's famous series of plaster casts of 60s rock stars, including Jimi Hendrix. Edwards said: "It would be naïve and hypocritical for anyone to be offended by this simple sculpture, yet be apathetic towards the plethora of images to which they subject themselves on a daily basis. "I stand by the work."
The work also boasts a maple leaf in a nod to Bieber's Canadian heritage. It comes after Edwards unveiled a nude sculpture of 17-year-old Baby singer Bieber and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, 19
