Mighty god Neptune’s
erotic embrace
holds onto the coast;
his wild seductive
waves undulating
on frenzied shorelines.
Proudly welcoming local residents and visitors alike, a 34-foot, cast bronze Neptune statue stands at the gateway to Neptune Park and the threshold of the sea. Surrounded by the creatures of his realm, mighty trident in hand, Neptune's gaze rests affectionately on the shore. Paul DiPasquale was commissioned to create Neptune's statue. DiPasquale has created numerous permanent public installations, including the bronze statue of Arthur Ashe on Richmond's famous Monument Avenue. His work has been exhibited in the United States and Europe and he has earned recognition in major print and media for his insightful creations. He continues to live and work in Richmond, Virginia.
